ELNE Calls for Proposals 25/26 – Inspiring Practices and Research Summaries Now Open!

The European Leadership Network Europe (ELNE) invites submissions for its 2025–2026 Calls for Inspiring Practices and Research Summaries under the theme: “Contextualising Collaborative Leadership Across Europe: Stakeholder Perspectives”.

Theme of the calls

The focus of this 2025/2026 Calls, “Participatory Culture in Educational Institutions”, explores how diverse stakeholders - teachers and trainers, school heads, students, parents, policymakers, unions, education providers, NGOs, and community partners - co-create more inclusive, equitable, and participatory learning environments.

We are particularly interested in practices and research that show how different actors take part in leadership and decision-making processes, how their agency is recognised and supported, and how collaboration contributes to improving the quality, wellbeing, and resilience of educational communities.

What we're looking for

• Inspiring Practices showing how collaboration and collaborative leadership in educational institutions address current challenges in education and impact the educational community.
• Research Summaries that deepen understanding of participatory culture and multi-stakeholder collaboration in education.

Apply now!

📅 Deadline for submissions: 15 December 2025

Help us map how collaboration and participatory culture shape education across Europe, from classrooms to policy!
