Learning Lab for Evaluation 2025

In June 2025, we launched the "Learning Lab for Evaluation (LL-4E) 2025" open call, which aims to help Member States evaluate the impact and effectiveness of their education interventions.

To this purpose, the Learning Lab’s experts will conduct free-of-charge counterfactual impact evaluation (CIE) studies, which include two types of evaluation approaches:

1.  ex post evaluations of completed policies or interventions, or
2.  randomized control trials (RCTs) for interventions that are still in the planning or implementation phase.

Key details of the Call:

• Deadline: The deadline for applications is 19 September 2025.
• Selection Criteria: Applications will be evaluated based on policy relevance, data availability (for ex post evaluations), and feasibility of implementing an RCT design.
• Eligibility: The call is open to national or regional governmental departments in charge of education and training policies in all EU Member States.
• Submit your request at: https://ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/runner/2025LearningLabforEvaluation

We invite you to consult the full text of the open call for applications with all the details in our website.

We look forward to seeing many of you applying and working closely with you for a high-quality, robust evaluation of education policy!
