On July 20th 2016, the Transfer Congress with the topic Use and Usability of Evidence for School- and Teaching Development took place at the University of Maine. The event was jointly organized by the project “Evidence- based Acting in the educational multilevel system” (EviS) and the coordination unit for the education research association “Governance in the German Educational System” (SteBis), and was sponsored by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research.
