WERA Mission and Goals
The World Education Research Association (WERA) is an association of national, regional, and international specialty research associations aimed at advancing education research as a scientific and scholarly field. Established on April 18, 2009 in San Diego, California, WERA aims to undertake initiatives that are global in nature and thus transcend what any one association can accomplish in its own country, region, or area of specialization. Member associations are resolved to work together to address such issues as building capacity and interest in education research, advancing education research policies and practices, and promoting the use and application of education research around the world.
WERA provides governing and affiliate forms of memberships to the public. Governing memberships are open to associations, while affiliate memberships are extended to institutions and individuals. For more information, visit the membership types and how to join pages.
WERA Governance
WERA is governed by an Executive Committee and Council, which consists of one duly appointed representative of each member of WERA. WERA members are national/country education research associations, regional education research associations, and international specialty education research associations from around the world. The WERA Council introduces and approves initiatives, activities, and programs consonant with the purposes of WERA, and holds a meeting once or twice per year.
