A structured research infrastructure for educational reforms
IMANARE is a structured, web-accessible repository developed within Work Package 3. It centralises analysed educational reform documents across Europe, supports comparative policy research, and lays the foundation for a future European reform research infrastructure — FAIR-aligned, extensible and repository-ready.
