The European Association for Practitioner Research on Improving Learning (EAPRIL) brings together those interested in the crossroads between research and practice but also between education and professional learning.

The mission of EAPRIL is to inspire and advance educational development and professional learning. We believe in the transformative power of practice-based research and collaboration to drive meaningful improvements in education. We achieve this by fostering a collaborative environment and facilitating impactful discussions among educational researchers and practitioners. EAPRIL stands as a dynamic and vibrant community bridging the worlds of research and practice.
