Upon instigation of the European Educational Research Association (EERA, www.eera.eu) and its members, a project entitled European Educational Research Quality Indicators (EERQI) was successfully proposed in the 7th Framework Programme of the European Union.
We are glad to announce that EERQI will be funded as a small collaborative project with Euro 1,494,564. The project will officially begin on 1st April 2008 for a three year period.
Aims of the project:EERQI will build an advanced prototype framework for relevance assessment of research documents in educational research. This will be based on formal mechanisms including citation analysis and linking, semantically-based full text analysis and co-occurrence of information items in open access and non-open access repositories. Moreover, journal articles, books and other freely-available scholarly publications are included.
Educational research has been chosen as a prototype of socially and politically embedded fields within the humanities and social sciences. The resulting prototype framework of quality indicators and methods will provide the base toolset for a European information service for evaluation of educational research publications and can be applied to other social sciences and humanities fields.
Complementary to traditional measurements of scientific quality (citation analysis, journal impact factor), new methods and indicators of quality assessment will be tested (usage assessments, versions available, other statistical methods, as well as by means of advanced, semantics-based detection of linking, correlations and referral contexts).
The project will also address the complex role of the diversity of scientific languages in Europe. Different languages can be a barrier to the international flow of communication. They are at the same time fundamental to expressing complex scientific ideas which are embedded in a certain historical and cultural back-ground. Thus the project will also address the challenge of effectively dealing with multilingualism and specific "cultural heritage" of research traditions in the European countries.
EERQI results will raise visibility and competitiveness of European researchers and contribute to new policy bases for funding, hiring, and evaluation decisions in European academic and research institutions.
The Project will be carried out by a Consortium of 19 Institutions including- European international and national learned societies in educational research,- departments of education at European universities,- computer and documentation centers in different European countries,- European publishers of educational research.

Re-emergence of Religion as a Social Force in Europe? - The Architecture of Contemporary Religious Transmission
Leitung: Prof. Dr. Ingrid Gogolin, Universität Hamburg; Projektleitung London: Prof. Dr. Roger Hewitt, Goldsmiths University of London; Projektleitung Bergen: Prof. Dr. Mette Anderson, University of Bergen; Projektmitarbeiter Hamburg: Benjamin Hintze
Für wie wichtig halten junge Menschen, die religiöse Orte in Großstädten besuchen oder sich in deren Umfeld aufhalten, Religion bzw. Säkularisierung? Wie sehen sie die Beziehung ihrer Kirche, Moschee, ihres Tempels zum jeweiligen Umfeld? Mit solchen Fragen beschäftigt sich das Forschungsprojekt The Architecture of Contemporary Religious Transmission.
Drei Fragestellungen werden untersucht: urbane religiöse Orte und lokale Formen religiöser Repräsentation, die Standpunkte junger Menschen hierzu und Veränderungen in den sozialen Beziehungen. Dem Forschungsprojekt liegt die These zugrunde, dass junge Menschen der entscheidende Faktor dafür sind, ob Religion als soziale Kraft in Europa gestärkt wird oder nicht. Methodisch wird vor allem auf qualitative Sozialforschung zurückgegriffen (audiovisuelle Dokumentationen, Interviews mit Jugendlichen und Klerikern; Gruppeninterviews).
Das Projekt wird international vergleichend von Forscherteams in den drei europäischen Städten London, Hamburg und Oslo durchgeführt.
Projektbeginn: April 2007; Projektende: November 2008, Finanzierung: NORFACE

Ingrid Gogolin was appointed as member of the Quality Control Board of the project MERIDIUM (Multilingualism in Europe as a Resource for Immigration - Dialogue Initiative among the Universities of Mediterranean), lead institution: University for Foreigners of Perugia, Italy.
The QCB is composed by three international experts in the field of multilingualism. MERIDIUM involves 7 European universities with the aim to encourage the acquisition of second-language knowledge among citizens of Mediterranean Europe and immigrants coming from or directed to Mediterranean countries. MERIDIUM aims to promote the goals of EU multilingualism policies by means of a permanent Study and Documentation Centre on Multilingualism in Mediterranean Europe to be established at the University for Foreigners of Perugia.
