The Educational Studies Association of Ireland is a voluntary, non-political body, dedicated to the advancement of educational research in Ireland.Its various conferences provide a public forum where research findings are presented, educational ideas are voiced and a richer understanding of educational practice is promoted.The most important to these events is the Annual Conference which this year was held in University Colllege Cork with the theme of Changing Research: working the spaces between education policy and practice.

EQI was delighted to have an involvement in 6 papers at the Conference addressing issues such as data literacy, culturally responsive assessment, the use of e-portfolios, ICT in initial teacher education and school clusters. Details on the projects that underpin many of these presentations can be found on the EQI webpage under the research tab . There are also a number of research papers that have emerged from these studies and they are accessible in the publications section.
