Strategic Partners

The IBE provides Strategic Partners with visibility and insight into global policy and decision-making on relevant education issues.

The IBE-UNESCO Strategic Partners on the Science of Learning initiative are stakeholders (including UNESCO Member States, world-class academic and research institutions, international organizations, foundations, entrepreneurs, and civil society) with a strong interest in exploring and further developing connections between neuroscience and education. They are the driving force behind the growth of the IBE Science of Learning Portal, as well as the advancement of other IBE projects and events on the science of learning.

The IBE provides Strategic Partners with visibility, access to, and insight into strategic and global policy and decision-making on relevant issues.
