Center for Diversity, Democracy and Inclusion in Education

The Center for Diversity, Democracy and Inclusion in Education (ZBI) researches the significance of diversity and migration for the design, organization, and transformation of education throughout the entire lifespan. 

It empirically examines knowledge and educational practices in social subsystems to determine whether and to what extent they contribute to greater educational equity and participation. 

Through its research, the ZBI also facilitates knowledge transfer to politics, civil society, educational practice, and the media. 

The ZBI conducts research on: 

• The production, dissemination, and reflection of knowledge about migration, multilingualism, discrimination, diversity, and democracy in education, civil society, and culture 
• Educational inequalities and social participation in migration societies 
• The design of frameworks and structures for social and political participation in the context of migration-related diversity
