Afterwards, the winners of the CIDER Public Science Award 2022 were presented (see news section).
On Tuesday, the CIDER Fellows were joined by additional researchers from the LERN-network and other (inter-)national research institutions. The day started with an inspiring Key Note by Dave Baker from Penn State University on “The Cognitive Impact of the Education Revolution”, followed by paper sessions, in which the participants presented and discussed their own work. In the afternoon, a joint trip to the pretty town of Esch-sur-Alzette was undertaken, where two guided tours offered interesting information on the history of Esch. The evening was completed by a delicious dinner at the Kulturfabrik Esch.
The Conference ended with a lively plenum discussion on Wednesday, in which four CIDER Fellows from different cohorts discussed the subject “Educational Research and Societal Crisis” on the basis of a stimulating Input presentation by Anna Vignoles (Leverhulme Trust). Finally, the Conference participants were invited to join the LuxEra Opening speech given by Justin Powell from the University of Luxembourg.

This year’s CIDER Spring Workshop 2022 took place from May 4th – May 5th, 2022 at the DIPF I Leibniz Institute for Research and Information in Education. All Fellows were very happy to meet face-to-face again in Frankfurt.
The workshop focused on “Open Science”, which was addressed by a variety of formats. In Lisa Spitzer’s (ZPID) workshop, Fellows had the opportunity to deal with pre-registration of scientific studies theoretically and practically. In Annie Brookman-Byrne’s (Jacobs Foundation) workshop, they were invited to give science writing for a wide audience a try. Tom Hardwicke of the University of Amsterdam gave a stimulating keynote presentation on transparency in research, while Julia Rohrer of the University of Leipzig focused her keynote on transparent communication strategies of study objectives. Anika Duveneck from FU Berlin gave an input on opportunities and challenges of transfer between research and professional practice, and Julia Beitner from Goethe-University complemented the program with information on the Frankfurt Open Science Initiative.
Besides, several CIDER 3-Micro Groups took the opportunity to present and discuss their research projects with other CIDER Fellows and Seniors. In a round table format, Fellows from Cohorts I and II shared their experiences on career-related topics with current Fellows.
The program was completed by a guided tour through Frankfurt’s infamous “Bahnhofsviertel” and a joint dinner on Thursday evening.
