SREE European Researchers Affinity GroupMission Statement SREE European Researchers (SREE Europe) is a community of European and Europe-based educational researchers dedicated to educational effectiveness. It provides a space to exchange experiences, build professional relationships, and collaborate on research. It also provides professional development opportunities (i.e., networking events, workshops, resources) to develop advanced knowledge and skills in quantitative research methods. Who are we? The group brings together European and Europe-based researchers who conduct impact evaluations, systematic evidence syntheses, and studies on research use, as well as those advancing methods for causal inference. Members include researchers at all career stages, from graduate students to senior researchers, based in universities, research centers, and other non-academic organizations. Why do we exist? SREE Europe was established to fill the gap of a dedicated community for educational effectiveness research in Europe. Its aim is to provide a space for European and Europe-based researchers to connect, collaborate, and build professional networks, while also fostering engagement with colleagues in the United States. What are our goals? The goals of the SREE Europe affinity group are to:

Mark your calendars for the next meetings in 2026:Webinar: Improving the generalizability of impact evaluations (Beth Tipton, Northwestern University) – January 30, 10 am (US Eastern Time).In rigorous impact evaluations of educational interventions, the generalizability of findings is often unclear, as each study is conducted within a specific – often convenient – sample of schools and students. This webinar provides practical guidance for researchers on how to enhance generalizability when planning impact studies. The session will cover how to define the target population and develop a sampling plan; assess the similarities between the study sample and the target population; and adjust for differences between the sample and the population.
