The research project "BildungsLandschaft Oberfranken (BiLO)" was completed by the end of September. For more than five years, researchers from the Leibniz Institute for Educational Trajectories (LIfBi) investigated the connection between regional educational opportunities and individual educational decisions and surveyed about 8,000 people and 1,500 educational providers in Upper Franconia for this purpose. Their conclusion: With innovative methods and approaches, BiLO addressed a research gap on the one hand, and on the other, the project was able to build a bridge between science and practice by providing important information and tools for municipal education monitoring. BiLO was funded by the Upper Franconia Foundation until March 2020, and LIfBi has extended the project funding until September 2020.
