European Early Childhood Education Research Association (EECERA)

EECERA is an independent, self-governing, international association which promotes and disseminates multi-disciplinary research on early childhood and its applications to policy and practice. EECERA seeks to sustain and develop the rich tradition of European early childhood thought, whilst looking forward to encourage the exploration of new paradigms, methodologies, concepts and applications in the ever-changing context of early childhood studies. Its reach and interest is resolutely international and, whilst wanting to identify with Europe’s pluralist and diverse cultures, it is open to learn of, and to share in, the equally rich early childhood traditions and concepts of the World.
EECERA holds an annual participative conference with over 600 papers presented and it publishes the SSCI rated EECER journal 5 times per year. It also encourages and supports cross-national collaborations and themed publications through its Special Interest Groups (SIGs).
