— Due to the Corona-crisis, the fourth research workshop unfortunately had to be cancelled —
The fourth joint research workshop of the project Integration CAN-D was supposed to take place in Winnipeg, Canaca from March 16-18, 2020 and should have been in cooperation with the Canadian Erasmus+ Project, researchers from the University of Manitoba and supported by The Child and Youth Refugee Coalition (CYRRC). The project Integration CAN-D would have organized a three-day workshop with two major topics: “Participation in civil society – the roles of newcomers and the host society” and “Trauma – Mental health and Wellbeing”.

Workshop-Program
In October 2018, the College for Interdisciplinary Educational Research (CIDER) and the Leibniz Education Research Network (LERN) organized their second interdisciplinary workshop for doctoral and postdoctoral educational researchers. It takes place at the Leibniz Association’s Headquarters in Berlin.
The general aim of the workshop was to extend the CIDER network to other LERN institutes and universities in order to facilitate interdisciplinary cooperation among educational researchers.
Part of the workshop program was a Keynote Lecture on “Causal Inference with Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs)” by Prof. Dr. Peter Steiner (University of Wisconsin-Madison) and a Plenary Debate on “Ability Tracking in Secondary Education” with the following guests: Prof. Dr. Herman van de Werfhorst (University of Amsterdam), Dr. Martina Diedrich (Institute for Educational Monitoring (IfBQ), Hamburg), Dr. Michael Becker (DIPF), and Dr. Roxanne Korthals (Inspectorate of Education Netherlands).

In January 2017, the College for Interdisciplinary Educational Research (CIDER) and the Leibniz Education Research Network (LERN) organized their first Interdisciplinary Workshop for Junior Educational Researchers in Berlin at the Leibniz Association’s Headquarters.
The general aim of the workshop was to extend the CIDER network to other LERN institutes in order to facilitate and enable interdisciplinary cooperation among educational researchers.
Program
“LERN Workshop for junior scientist on handling large data sets from the field of educational research”
In September 2015, a workshop on handling large data sets from the field of educational research took place at the Leibniz Institute for Educational Trajectories (LIfBi) in Bamberg supported by the Leibniz Education Research Network (LERN) and aimed at young scientists. This event was organized by the LIfBi along with DIW Berlin, GESIS, and IQB and supports interdisciplinary networking and the promotion of young scientists. The aim was to develop joint research questions in the field of empirical educational research and prepare the grant applications for third-party funding using the data repositories within the LERN Network.

“Research on Intervention and Implementation in Education: Current State, Challenges, and Perspectives for Empirical Educational Research”
The issue of a more evidence-based educational policy and practice has increasingly gained in importance and has been a common subject of discussion in recentyears. Therefore, the German Institute for Adult Education – Leibniz Centre for Lifelong Learning (DIE), the DIPF | Leibniz Institute for Research and Information in Education, the IPN – Leibniz Institute for Science and Mathematics Education, and the Hector Research Institute of Education Sciences and Psychology (HIB) jointly organized the international academic conference “Research on Intervention and Implementation in Education – Current State, Challenges, and Perspectives for the Empirical Educational Research”.
The conference was organized in the form of successive guest lectures topically ranging from experimental intervention research (within longitudinal trials) to implementation and scaling-up to evidence-based educational practice and policy. Each lecture, given by international scientists from different countries, was discussed by the plenum. Therefore, the purposes of the conference were to bring together ambitious researchers from different countries and provide them with a platform to engage in formal as well as informal conversations about intervention and/or implementation research in educational contexts, and to establish and/or intensify international and interdisciplinary networks which may last far beyond the time of the conference.
The projects Integration CAN-D and SKM organize a joint event on the topic “Successful labour market integration of refugees – Canadian and German approaches”.
The project Integration CAN-D designed at the conference in 2019 of the AERA (American Educational Research Association) two Roundtables regarding the topic of the german-canadian collaborative research in cooperation with the International Sessions of the ICE (International Cooperation in Education).
The project Integration CAN-D organized at the conference of The German Network of Forced Migration in Eichstätt a Panel (Session 4.5) regarding the topic “Research-Cooperation Network between Canada and Germany on the Integration of Refugees”.
Projects of the network Integration CAN-D could present their work at the conference of the AERA (American Educational Research Association) in New York (USA).
The project Integration CAN-D organized a Summer School for Early Career Researchers at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität (LMU) in Munich. Emerging researchers in their late doctoral or early post-doc phase from Canada and Germany came together with international experts for an exchange in the field of refugee studies. 22 young academics (including seven from Canada) and nine experts participated at the Summer School. In addition to five keynotes from international experts and one workshop on the topic knowledge transfer and mobilization, the participants had the opportunity to work on their own projects in intensive small working groups and to get together with local organizations, working with newcomers in Munich.
