New ideas from our work inform education policy and practice in London, the UK and around the world.

World-class reputation

IOE tops the league tables for education research in UK universities (source: independent research assessment exercise, 2008). With a research income of £18m in 2008, and as home to 30 specialist research centres, we are one of the country's largest centres of social science research.

Big portfolio of funders and partners

Funders and partners of IOE research include research councils, charities, government departments and international agencies.  We attract the lion's share of UK research council funding (40%) for education research. At any one time we are working on more than 250 research projects.
