Competence Network for Empirical Educational Research (Kompetenzverbund empirische Bildungs- und Unterrichtsforschung)

The Competence Network for Empirical Educational Research (Kompetenzverbund empirische Bildungs- und Unterrichtsforschung, KeBU) is an association of researchers from University of Freiburg and University of Education Freiburg. KeBU was founded to bundle and expand research and to support the development of emerging scholars in the field of empirical educational research at the two universities in Freiburg.

The competence network forms an essential pillar of the School of Education FACE in the field of research. In it, the University of Freiburg, the University of Education Freiburg and the University of Music Freiburg continue to develop teacher education in Freiburg in a practical and science-based way. For more information, please visit the School of Education FACE website.
