International activities at the IFS

The connection to the international scientific community is of great strategic importance for the IFS.  Thus, the IFS is anchored in top national and international research. Furthermore, scientists regularly publish their research results in English-language journals or present them at international conferences. In addition, the institute regularly hosts visiting scholars; on the one hand, staff members spend research stays abroad, and on the other hand, guest lecturers from abroad come to the institute for research stays, project exchanges or guest lectures. Finally, the area of teaching at the institute is also characterized by its international orientation, as there are, for example, teaching concepts for the implementation of intercultural education in teacher training.

Dr. Hugo Lortie-Forgues was a guest speaker at the IFS lecture series and presented his talk titled “How Should We Communicate the Effects of Educational Interventions to Teachers.”

Hugo Lortie-Forgues is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Mathematics Education at Loughborough University (UK). His research focuses on how statistical information can be communicated effectively to non-experts, how large-scale evaluation studies can be made more informative, and how the teaching of mathematical and statistical concepts can be improved.
