About Our Research

The Learning Variability Network Exchange (LEVANTE) is an international research collaboration studying how children learn and develop across different countries, cultures and educational settings.

Every child learns differently. By studying children from many backgrounds, researchers hope to better understand the factors that support learning and development, helping to improve educational opportunities for future generations.

Researchers from universities around the world are collecting the same learning activities and questionnaires, creating one of the largest international datasets on children's learning and development.

Visit the official LEVANTE website to learn about the international project, participating research teams, and the wider aims of the collaboration.

Our research team is involved in a range of work exploring children's learning, memory and metacognition. If you're interested, you can read more here:
