ECER 2019 , Hamburg

What ECER is about and how the APP will support your conference experience

ECER is the annual conference of the European Educational Research Association, bringing together 2500 - 3000 researchers per year from Europe and the world. ECER aims at creating an inclusive platform for initiating, reporting, discussing and promoting high quality educational research, that not only acknowledges its own context but also recognises wider, transnational contexts with their social, cultural and political similarities and differences. The conference is organised for emerging, as well as experienced, researchers.

Navigating a programme with over 2500 contribution needs a supportive tool: The ECER 2019, Hamburg smartphone app provides you with the most comfortable tool for planning your participation in the European Conference on Educational Research. Browse the complete programme directly from your phone or tablet and create your very own agenda on the fly. The app is available for Android, iOS and Windows Phone devices. We hope the following User Guide will help you prepare your ECER participation and enhance your ECER experience.
