An Emerging Field Group (EFG) consists of a small group of international researchers working in the field of learning and instruction, active within a new, emerging field of research. EARLI offers these researchers the opportunity to work together during a short but intense period of time to explore the possibilities in their shared field of interest.
The aim of the EFG initiative is to support exploratory, innovative, and risk-taking approaches, allowing its participants to focus on innovative and new fields of research, with an emphasis on exploration and process rather than output and product.
