Director and founder

Dr. Tijana Prokic-Breuer is co-founder and director of Education Lab Netherlands. Tijana leads several research projects where co-creation between scientists and education professionals is central. She is responsible for the collaboration with the City of Amsterdam in the field of knowledge utilization and creation: Educational Knowledge Network Amsterdam and for Language Lab (Taallab). Language Lab is one of the two co-creation Labs funded by the Dutch National Growthfund in 2022 as part of the national knowledge infrastructure project, Ontwikkelkracht. Both of these projects aim to develop a knowledge network to promote sustainable improvement and innovation in education. Within these collaborations, she works with different stakeholders (policy makers, school leaders and teachers) on experimental research on effective interventions to promote equal opportunities in education, reduce language deficits and stimulate the development of schools as learning organizations.

Tijana holds a PhD from the European Institute in Florence (2011), after which she gained extensive (inter)national experience as researcher and consulatant to international organizations.
