This year, SAGE Publishing supported one of these competitive scholarships. Following a three-stage selection process, the SAGE-funded Conference Bursary was awarded to Dr. Ekaterina Kozina, a postdoctoral researcher in the Higher Education Research Centre, Office of the Vice-President for Learning Innovation, Dublin City University.
The winner was honoured in the Opening Ceremony of the Annual Conference on Educational Research Early Researchers’ Conference on 12 September in Freie Universität, Berlin at which Ekaterina presented her paper: “Towards a Sociology of Teacher Socialisation: National Study into First Year Professional Experiences of Primary Teachers”.
EERA was founded in 1994 with the purposes of:
- encouraging collaboration amongst educational researchers in Europe,
- promoting communication between educational researchers and international governmental organisations such as the EU, Council of Europe, OECD and UNESCO,
- disseminating the findings of educational research and highlighting their contribution to policy and practice.
