The CEMETS Summer Institute 2024 featured an online course followed by two live institute weeks in Zurich. Teams from around the world joined for case workshops, lectures, keynotes, and site visits. Participants included teams from US states such as Washington, Indiana, Colorado, Alabama, New York City, and a national US team from Empower Schools, as well as teams from Serbia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Uzbekistan, Nepal, and South Africa.
Education reforms are long-lasting and need capacity building. Our institute aims to support these reforms by offering scientific insights and supporting practical reform initiatives. As one participant noted, the institute was "very helpful in clarifying our priorities and developing a real and possible path".
