In order to promote longitudinal educational research in Germany, LIfBi provides fundamental, research-based infrastructures of supra-regional and international relevance for empirical educational research.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the core of the institute is Germany\u2019s largest long-term educational study, the National Educational Panel Study (NEPS), which is based at LIfBi and brings together the expertise of a nationwide, interdisciplinary network of excellence. Further large-scale projects for which LIfBi collects and\/or provides longitudinal data include, in addition to the refugee studies ReGES and BildungswegeFlucht, the inclusion study INSIDE as well as the monitoring study Data Literacy. These activities are grounded in the institute\u2019s own research and development work, in particular in the well-established development of instruments and methods for longitudinal educational studies, from which other research projects also benefit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Important work and services:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Through the <strong>National Educational Panel Study (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lifbi.de\/NEPS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NEPS<\/a>)<\/strong>, longitudinal data representative of Germany are collected on competence development, educational processes, educational decisions, and educational returns in formal, non-formal, and informal contexts across the entire life course.
