In addition, as a more indirect effect of the program, also expected is the improvement of research through better qualification of young researchers with respect to methodology, but also with respect to knowledge and understanding of research on learning across different disciplines. The international nature of the program is aimed at fostering international visibility and the international network of research in the Learning Sciences.
