About the Laboratory
The Laboratory for Educational Innovation Research was established by the decision of the Academic Council of the Institute of Education in December 2014. We are open to collaborate with all who are interested in the research of innovative ecosystems and processes in education.
The perspective targets of the Laboratory are studying the processes of generation and diffusion of innovations in educational ecosystems and identifying the factors of their distribution and sustainability. Based on this knowledge, the methodology for assessing the potential of innovative projects is supposed to be developed. We are working on the development of the system of consulting support for the community of innovators, venture capital, government agencies and charitable foundations.
