Research Thematic Areas

The Hub organises its research around six interconnected domains that reflect the major transitions reshaping education in Europe and Asia. Each domain brings together scholars working on shared questions across national contexts, fostering comparative projects, joint publications, and sustained dialogue. Together, they form the thematic architecture of our collective inquiry.
