Research, Innovation and Partnerships
EduRise creates evidence-informed solutions through applied research, educational innovation, knowledge exchange and strategic partnerships.
Learn MoreEvidence at the heart of everything we do
Creating lasting educational impact requires more than good intentions — it requires rigorous research, applied innovation and strategic partnerships that connect knowledge to action. EduRise is committed to building an evidence base that strengthens its own practice and contributes to the wider field of education and development.
Our work in research, innovation and partnerships focuses on developing evidence-informed solutions, fostering educational innovation and building cross-sector collaborations that multiply impact. We work with universities, research institutions, charities and public organisations to create knowledge that is credible, accessible and genuinely useful.
We approach research and innovation as a shared responsibility — not a competitive advantage. Knowledge generated through our work should be accessible to the wider sector, contributing to a stronger evidence base for education and development practice.

Knowledge that drives better outcomes
When education and development practice is grounded in evidence, resources are used more effectively, outcomes improve and learning is shared across the sector.
Applied Research
Conducting and commissioning research that addresses real questions facing educators, communities and policymakers — generating knowledge that is practical and actionable.
Educational Innovation
Developing and testing new approaches to learning, leadership and community development — sharing what works with the wider sector.
Knowledge Exchange
Creating structured opportunities for practitioners, researchers and communities to share learning, challenge assumptions and build collective expertise.
Strategic Partnerships
Building long-term relationships with universities, research institutions, charities and public organisations that multiply the impact of every collaboration.
Research and innovation as a public good.
EduRise approaches research and innovation as a shared responsibility — not a competitive advantage. We believe that knowledge generated through our work should be accessible to the wider sector, contributing to a stronger evidence base for education and development practice across our focus geographies.
Our work is guided by a commitment to rigour, transparency and genuine collaboration — ensuring that what we learn is shared openly and that our partnerships create value for all involved. We are building the foundations for a research and innovation function that is credible, independent and genuinely useful to the communities and sectors we serve.
Examples of Future Work
As EduRise develops, we aim to build a research and innovation function that contributes meaningfully to the wider education and development sector.
Research Partnerships
Developing collaborative research relationships with universities and institutions to generate evidence that strengthens education and development practice.
Innovation Labs
Creating structured spaces to develop, test and evaluate new approaches to education and community development — sharing learning openly with the sector.
Knowledge Exchange Platforms
Building accessible platforms and events that connect practitioners, researchers and communities — enabling shared learning and collective improvement.
International Research Collaboration
Extending our research and innovation work internationally through locally rooted partnerships — ensuring knowledge is contextually relevant and genuinely useful.
How partnerships contribute
EduRise is building partnerships with universities, research institutions, think tanks, charities and public organisations to develop an evidence base that is credible, accessible and genuinely useful. We believe that the most impactful research happens when diverse organisations collaborate — combining academic rigour with practical expertise and community knowledge.
We are particularly interested in working with organisations that share our commitment to open knowledge, evidence-informed practice and the application of research to real-world challenges in education and development.
