As part of the biannual meeting of the European Association of Research on Learning and Instruction in Thessaloniki (22-26 August), Ingo Kollar was an invited discussant for a symposium entitled "Evidence-informed reasoning of pre-service teachers", which brought together renowned researchers from the Netherlands, Norway and Germany.

In his discussion, Ingo Kollar spoke about the urgent need for educational research to demonstrate its usefulness to pre-service and in-service teachers, and to make educational research findings easily accessible to this target group in order to increase the likelihood that this evidence will actually be used in practice.
