Who we are
An institute connecting science, practice, and transformation.
Instituto Edube — Evidence-Based Education — is an organization dedicated to producing, disseminating, and applying scientific knowledge to improve education.
Founded on 20 July 2020, Edube works at the interface between research, professional development, materials design, educational assessment, innovation, and public policy implementation.
We believe educational decisions should be guided by the best available evidence, and that scientific knowledge must reach classrooms, schools, and school systems in ways that are accessible, responsible, and applicable.
Our name is inspired by the ancient Edubbas, the writing schools of Mesopotamia, recognized as some of the first organized spaces for learning in history.
Today we seek to honor that legacy by building a new space for learning: grounded in science, committed to equity, and oriented toward impact.
