<p>Dear colleagues,</p>
<p>We all know how crucial <b>Informatics Education Research</b>
is. But how do we <b>take it to the next level</b>? <br>
</p>
<p><b>Please help us reach researchers</b>, mainly PhD students and
Post-docs, but also those<b> interested in Informatics Education
Research. </b>They will find this message valuable!</p>
<p>Our Europe's first and only Summer School on Informatics
Education Research (<a
href="https://www.informatics-europe.org/education/informatics-education-research-school.html">SCHIER
2024</a>), sponsored and co-organised with IBM Research Europe,
will cover foundational theoretical and methodological aspects of
research on teaching and learning, combined with more practical
aspects of designing and implementing research in these areas.
SCHIER 2024 is also the place to connect with like-minded
researchers and establish a robust European Informatics Education
Research community.</p>
<p>We are excited to welcome you and your colleagues to <b>the
first edition of SCHIER this September. Places are limited - act
now!</b></p>
<p>Best regards,<br>
Informatics Europe<br>
