Synapse Lab

Synapse Lab develops and investigates interventions for promoting motivation and learning in education and work life.

Our researchers are motivated by the need for evidence based policy making and organizational change. We work in close collaboration with educators, businesses and organizations.

We utilize rigorous experimental methodology combined with registry data, and connect researchers from different disciplines. As a result, we create mutually beneficial collaborations between researchers and educators, businesses and organizations.

PhD students have the opportunity to attend the PhD course Randomized controlled trials in the social sciences (PhD 416). The course focuses on the methodology of randomization in social science research. It is led by Professor Eric Bettinger from Stanford University, who is one of the world's foremost experts on RCTs.

On our resource page on RCTs in education you can find conference presentations, working papers, literature and videos related to research and methodology. The website is open for submissions.
