Cloud 06 Intervening in Complex Practices

This Research Cloud brings together practice-based researchers, educators, and professional doctorate candidates who are working towards sustainable transformations in education and professional practice. Our focus is on intervening in complex practices by enriching local contexts with international perspectives from the EAPRIL community. In doing so, we aim to strengthen both local impact and internationally transferable knowledge and approaches.

We are a Research Cloud within EAPRIL with a clear research and innovation agenda. We develop and substantiate interventions that are co-created with professional practice, tested through short iterative cycles, and designed to be transferable across contexts. We draw on state-of-the-art knowledge as well as practice-based insights, fostering continuous interaction between theory and practice.
