IFE Impact Report

The IFE Impact Reports present a summary of the achievements of all initiatives undertaken by the Institute for the Future of Education over a one-year period. Through a diverse portfolio of initiatives, the Institute engages in partnerships with academia, industry experts, policymakers, and visionary leaders to shape the future of the educational landscape.

This report is structured into four key sections:

Interdisciplinary Research: Through its initiatives, the Institute promotes a research culture that addresses educational challenges through interdisciplinary collaborations and knowledge sharing. Its approach involves designing research projects aligned with educational goals, collecting and analyzing data, and collaborating with other researchers and educators to improve teaching practices and learning outcomes.

Entrepreneurship and Technology Transfer: These initiatives aim to strengthen the EdTech ecosystem through programs, awards, and networking events, fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange. They also encourage the generation of intellectual property and technology transfer, all to transform education through technological entrepreneurship.

Impact Projects and Consulting: Through these initiatives, the Institute also promotes job mobility by equipping individuals with a suitable skill set to access better opportunities and improve their quality of life. Additionally, it offers consulting services focused primarily on designing and implementing new educational models.

Dissemination and Community Building: These initiatives drive a culture of educational innovation, impacting the educational ecosystem through open resources and content. They also create and strengthen educational communities to foster collaboration and idea exchange, ultimately generating a positive impact on society.

IFE Impact Report (March 2024 to February 2025

This report highlights the achievements and impact of the Institute for the Future of Education during the period from March 2024 to February 2025.

Over the past year, we have made significant strides in educational innovation across Latin America and other regions. These accomplishments have been made possible through close collaboration with our partners, with whom we share a strong commitment to transforming education.

We invite you to download the IFE Impact Report and explore the stories behind each initiative. We hope this report serves as a source of inspiration and encourages you to join our mission to improve lives through educational transformation
