EERA (European Educational Research Association) was founded in June 1994 as a result of discussions among many national educational research associations and several major research institutes throughout Europe which identified the need for a European association to foster the exchange of ideas amongst European researchers, promote collaboration in research, improve research quality and offer independent advice on educational research to European policy-makers, administrators and practitioners.

EERA was founded as a learned society specifically for the purposes of:

• Encouraging collaboration amongst educational researchers in Europe
• Promoting communication between educational researchers and international governmental organizations such as the EU, Council of Europe, OECD and UNESCO
• Improving communication amongst educational research associations and institutes within Europe
• Disseminating the findings of educational research and highlighting their contribution to policy and practice
