ECER 2026 seeks to motivate participants to ponder the production and uses of education research in a contextually rich, creative, and caring manner. How is scholarly knowledge in and of education, its methodologies and the practices based thereon, fit to understand and address the poly-crisis in the context where the very conditions of scientific knowledge are in flux? Education researchers are well-equipped to examine both the ecosystems that shape knowledge production and its use, and the fact that the poly-crises will manifest in both globally shared and locally specific forms. In other words, researchers too are asking questions – and are asked to address - their societal roles and accountabilities beyond the academic realm. We see this conference as a productive and urgent opportunity to strengthen the position of authority of education research and as a forum for dialogues with decision-makers and practitioners as well as diverse forms of knowledge including interdisciplinary scientific knowledge, practitioner knowledge and indigenous knowledge.
