In 2018 a diverse research groups from over the world came together to form the Funds of Knowledge Alliance. This research Project was supported by the Spanish Ministry of Economy, Industry and Competitiveness (MINECO), the Spanish State Research Agency (EAI), and the European Regional Development Fund (European Union) [grant number EDU2017-83363-R].
The group coalesced around the need to promote the inclusion and social justice by enhancing educational practices. They set out to develop an organization that could collaborate with researchers, educators and policymakers to conduct high-quality and useful research for effectiveness of various reforms aimed to addressing inequalities.
We strive to advance equity in education by providing credible, nonpartisan evidence about policies and practices that promote justice, inclusion and social cohesion.

- Advance the funds of knowledge approach through an exchange of resources, studies and practices;
