Build credible evidence for your Product, programme or innovation
By combining academic expertise, real world education contexts, and direct access to the Faculty of Education’s extensive partnerships with schools, colleges, local authorities and education providers, the Hub supports innovators to generate credible, real world evidence.
This access enables EdTech companies and start-ups to test and evaluate products in authentic settings, strengthening evidence bases that support product development, adoption and growth.
How the Hub can support EdTech and innovative organisations
Developing high quality evidence is a challenge for many early stage and growing organisations — particularly where access to research expertise, education settings, or evaluation capacity is limited.
The Hub helps bridge this gap by working collaboratively with you to:
- test and refine products, interventions or programmes
- build a credible and proportionate evidence base
- understand user experience and real world implementation
- strengthen evaluation ahead of funding, scaling or wider adoption
Our approach is context specific, practical, and designed to fit the realities of innovation — not impose unnecessary academic burden.
