The 2nd IEA International Research Conference

With support from the U.S. Department of Education's National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA) and the Brookings Institution in Washington DC are hosting a research conference focused on greater understanding of the numerous roles that education plays in the development of nations and in shaping individuals. The purpose of this conference is to provide an opportunity for investigators to share research findings using data from any of the IEA-sponsored international assessment studies, including the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) and the Progress in International Reading Literacy Study (PIRLS).
