    About IBB

    The Institute for the Management and Economics of Education (IBB) is an institute of the Teacher Training University of Central Switzerland (PHZ). The IBB contributes to research and knowledge transfer in the fields of management and economics of education.
    Besides engaging in research and development, the IBB's aim is to provide services to teachers, school leaders, and representatives of communities, cantons, ministries as well as to authorities and individuals in charge of quality and development of educational institutions.
    Our funding partners and customers are (in addition to the classic research foundations) the federal government, the cantons, communities, associations, counselling agencies, private foundations, education institutions (among them also universities) in Switzerland and other German speaking countries (mainly the federal states of Germany), but also in other European and non-European countries, and international organisations such as the OECD.

    The IBB's work can be structured into the following fields:

    • Research: basic research, applied research, and evaluation research
    • Consultancy: mainly evaluations, needs assessments, conceptions, consultancy, and expertises
    • Networks: chairing professional networks in research and practice as well as organising conferences
    • Training and Development: initial training, continuous professional development, and coaching for all agents at school and education authorities
