WERA is an association of major national, regional, and specialty education research associations dedicated to sharing scholarship, developing networks, and mutually supporting capacity building. The WERA 2020 Focal Meeting is an integral part of the annual conference of the Sociedad Española de Pedagogía (SEP) and consists of a program of paper, symposia, and poster sessions on topics of worldwide emphases and significance. WERA Focal Meetings are embedded in the conference of a WERA member association.

The Call for Submissions is posted on the WERA 2020 Focal Meeting website (www.wera-compostela.com). We hope that you will join us at the WERA Focal Meeting, and invite you to submit an abstract for a paper, poster, or a symposium for the meeting. We also seek your help in disseminating this Call widely to other networks of scholars in your country, region, or area of research.
