“The Centre for Educational Research and Intervention (CIIE), founded in 1988 at the Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences of the University of Porto on the initiative of Stephen R. Stoer, is a research unit funded by the Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT).
The research carried out within the framework of the CIIE has as its reference point the problems of education with an emphasis on the dimensions related to educational and social inequalities and exclusions, in line with the objectives of the European Union and the Council of Europe of ‘promoting equity, social cohesion and active citizenship’ and those of ‘Europe 2020’ of sustainable and inclusive growth.”
