The Georg Eckert Institute for International Textbook Research ...

… conducts research into the production, content and appropriation of educational media for schools in its socio-cultural, political, economic and historical contexts.

… provides unique research infrastructure services that are founded in research and available on site and digitally. At the core of the Institute is its research library containing the world’s most comprehensive collection of international textbooks.

… provides transfer services based on critical research for application in national and international education practice, educational media production and education policy.

Research, research infrastructures and knowledge transfer are the threads that run throughout the GEI’s work. Flourishing in its role as a non-university institution that both conducts and facilitates research into textbooks and educational media, the Georg Eckert Institute has become an internationally recognised centre of reference in the field.
