The Research Centre on Education (CIEd) is a multidisciplinary research unit of UMinho’s Institute of Education, whose mission is to produce knowledge about education as a means of participating in the transformation of people’s lives and communities.
Since 1976, the research carried out at the Centre has focused on children, young people, adults and the elderly, in a variety of social environments and types of communities, always taking into account the diversity of cultural and social constraints and resources that have an impact on learning, and aspiring for all citizens to be equally prepared to participate actively and critically in society.
Quality and internationalization, impact and outreach, as well as the training of young researchers, are central to the Centre’s mission.
Through its objectives and actions, CIEd achieves its great mission: to guarantee better learning for better futures.
