Strategic Research Agenda Documents

The INEE Strategic Research Agenda (SRA) will be an online platform to engage and connect researchers, practitioners, policymakers and donors working in the field of Education in Emergencies (EiE).  It aims to facilitate the expansion of the knowledge and evidence base in EiE by building collaborative consensus around research gaps, research themes for investigation and guiding research questions. The process is being managed by two teams of consultants from the Conflict and Education Research Group (CERG) at the University of Oxford and the Teachers College International Education Research Group (TCIERG).

Currently, the SRA exists in static document form. The vision for the SRA is that it be a searchable web platform. Once online, users will be able to search the SRA according to keyword ‘tags’ and discover research questions, resources, researchers and research institutions relevant to their interests. The static SRA is made of the following components:

  • Brief History of EiE
  • Existing Research and Critical Research Gaps
  • Current Research Challenges
  • Methodological and Ethical Principles for Research in EiE
  • SRA Keyword Tags
  • Thematic Research Questions for INEE Working Groups, Task Teams and Special Initiatives

When the SRA web platform goes online, the following components will be added as they are developed:

  • Annotated Bibliography of Resources
  • Searchable Research Question Platform
  • Research Contacts Database (RCD)

There are also lists of research questions, grouped according to theme. These lists provide a starting point for discussion and consensus among experts working on these issues:
