Oberon is an independent organization based in Utrecht, specializing in educational research and consultancy. Our mission is to enhance learning and education by bridging the gap between educational science, policymaking, and practice. We facilitate connections between various stakeholders, policymakers, schools, researchers, and consultants, as well as between the present and the future.

Our reports and advice are grounded in well-founded and meaningful research, with a strong focus on creating a tangible impact on daily school practices. With over 20 years of experience, Oberon offers tailored research solutions for the development, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of educational policies. We work at the local, regional, and national levels, serving clients such as municipal councils, the Ministry for Education, Culture and Science, school boards, and national and international associations.

Our research covers a wide range of educational topics, including equality in education, effective interventions in early childhood education, aligning education support and youth services, local educational policy-making, continuous professional development, and human resource management in schools, quality of teaching and learning, assessments and innovation, and student success.
