BRiDGE Project - A "How To" guide on Interprofessional Working and Collaboration - Available in eight languages

Bringing together staff from civil society organisations, national and regional agencies, academic research and from policymaking in education is what we term ‘interprofessional’ working and collaboration. The starting point for the “BRiDGE” project, and this guide, is that encouraging an ‘interprofessional’ approach to education policy research lays the foundation for more effective and sustainable policy design, implementation and evaluation.

This Guide draws on experience from the learning community that was created and facilitated by the EU-funded BRiDGE project with participants from European civil society organisations, national and regional agencies, from academic research (including Early Career Researchers) and from policymaking in education.

Bringing together staff in these different roles is what we term ‘interprofessional’ working and collaboration. The starting point for the project, and this guide, is that encouraging an ‘interprofessional’ approach to education policy research lays the foundation for more effective and sustainable policy design, implementation and evaluation.

The Guide is available in all partnership languages in addition to English – German, French, Hungarian, Polish, Dutch, Portuguese, and Lithuanian.
