Competence Network for Empirical Educational Research (Kompetenzverbund empirische Bildungs- und Unterrichtsforschung)

The Competence Network for Empirical Educational Research (Kompetenzverbund empirische Bildungs- und Unterrichtsforschung, KeBU) is an association of researchers from University of Freiburg and University of Education Freiburg. KeBU was founded to bundle and expand research and to support the development of future research scientists in the field of empirical educational research at the two universities in Freiburg.

The competence network is an essential pillar of the School of Education FACE in the field of educational research. In it, University of Freiburg, University of Education Freiburg and Freiburg University of Music form a network for joint work on teacher education. The School of Education FACE is thus the central structure for all Freiburg actors in teacher education. For more information, please visit the School of Education FACE website.
