INVALSI Conference 2026: Evaluation and Research in Education

The INVALSI Conference on Evaluation and Research in Education is an annual event organized by Italy's National Institute for the Evaluation of the Education System, dedicated to evidence-based approaches to educational assessment and policy. The 2026 edition is held in Lecco from November 4–6, gathering educational researchers, psychometricians, school administrators, and policymakers. Sessions cover large-scale assessment design, learning outcome measurement, longitudinal student performance studies, teacher evaluation frameworks, and international benchmarking such as PISA and TIMSS. The conference promotes the use of rigorous empirical data to inform curriculum reform, equity-focused educational policies, and school improvement strategies. INVALSI 2026 serves as a vital venue for connecting Italian and European educational research with actionable policy recommendations.
