    <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
