The conference aims to show how secondary analyses on data from large scale international surveys and direct assessments of pupils can provide policy relevant insights. It is of particular importance that the conference should give evidence-based insights relevant to the proposed priorities within ET2020 in the period from 2012-2014 and the follow-up and formulation of Country Specific Recommendations (CSRs) under the European Semester. The conference should also identify EU relevant areas where there is a need and prospect for further data development and/or areas for secondary analyses in the next years. The conference will have a strong focus on European results and be targeted to an audience of policy makers as well as researchers in the field.
