The MapIE project aims to address educational inequalities by adopting a comprehensive and multi-faceted approach. The project (1) explores the existing research on the development of educational inequalities and mechanisms for their mitigation. It also focuses on (2) compiling and describing available longitudinal data and registries to enhance access to original data sources. Furthermore, MapIE (3) identifies effective strategies to reduce inequalities through targeted educational policies and interventions and seeks to establish (4) a framework for conducting high-quality, comparable longitudinal studies across diverse European contexts in the future.
The project is structured around seven extensive work packages that integrate research efforts with efficient project management to achieve its objectives.
