SXSW EDU 2025
Building & Broadening the Education R&D Enterprise
Description:
Traditional education research and development is dominated by the most privileged institutions with outsized access to R&D capital and opportunities. Often, their research agendas are not informed by the needs of students, educators, or their communities. To make education R&D more effective, we must expand the array of who gets R&D funding, as well as grow a more diverse pipeline of R&D professionals. Join this session to learn policy solutions for incorporating a broader range of communities’ assets, needs, and perspectives in the education R&D process.
