Educational research with impact
The Institute for Quality Development in Education (IQB) researches how well pupils in Germany learn and how education can be organised more fairly. To this end, the institute has developed educational standards that define which competences should be achieved by certain dates. As part of its education monitoring programme, the IQB regularly reviews the status of this target achievement. It is also one of the leading institutions for empirical educational research in Germany.
Professional School of Education
The Professional School of Education (PSE) is the central institute for all aspects of teacher training. The institute offers student teachers a place to meet and exchange professional ideas and provides support with the academic, career preparation and organisational foundations of teacher training. It also promotes innovative ideas in teacher training along cross-cutting themes such as digitalisation and inclusion.
STEM education: Research meets classroom practice
The ProMINT-Kolleg focuses on research into didactics, the design of lessons and the training of teachers in the STEM subjects (mathematics, computer science, natural sciences and technology). Through international cooperation, the college strengthens research, combines subject-specific didactic expertise with scientific findings and innovative ideas and actively disseminates knowledge to society.

Knowledge exchange through dance
How does knowledge move? What potential is there in movement to share and shape ideas? In the object laboratory of the Centre for Cultural Technology, scientist and choreographer Irina Demina explores formats that can translate scientific topics into lively, tangible experiences. The aim of this practice is to build bridges between science and society and to open up the body as a medium for thought and research - an approach that the scientist describes as "bodyation", in which ideas are shaped and directly experienced through movement.
