Key Facts
The PIONEERED Consortium
The consortium of the PIONEERED project reflected both the mixed-method nature of PIONEERED as well as the heterogeneity of countries and the different stages of educational trajectories. Partners from nine countries – Finland, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Norway, Spain and Switzerland – were chosen on the basis of their expertise on the study topic and on educational systems across Europe and in the selected countries. Of particular interest was the contrast between the more inequality-prone countries of Germany, Hungary, Luxembourg and Switzerland with the less inequality-prone countries of Finland, Norway, Lithuania, Ireland and Spain.
The Consortium Boasts Expertise in the following Areas:
- Sociology
- Educational science
- Psychology
- Economics
- Social policy
- Political science
The consortium encompassed university research institutions, non-university research institutions, and agencies that supported research and facilitate linkages between research and stakeholders.
