THE CENTER
The Institute for Research in Education is conceived as an autonomous center, linked to the University of Barcelona (UB), promoter of research in education.
Education is conceived as one of the fundamental pillars of developed societies, and the educational level achieved by the citizenship of a country is an indicator of their degree of economic and social development.
