ECA-CES project Sustainable Development Forum; is registered under the partnerships with UN. Europe and Central Asia Sustainable Development Forum was launched to promote and accelerate research activities aimed at the achievement of 4th SDG in developing, low-income and middle-income countries of the Eastern Europe and Central Asia. Forum supports researchers and educators from this region who encounter difficulties including methodological (access to data collection), cooperation with colleagues and research results dissemination while working towards the achievements of the 4th SDG. Forum serves as a platform for increasing the production and use of research data and evidence in education policy and its’ further implementation. Forum activities aimed at achievements of the Fourth Sustainable Development Goal in the region. They are focused precisely on targets of the Fourth Goal such as 4.1 (through accelerating, promoting and stimulating production of more scientific data in educational assessment. including research conducting, tools development, methodology transfer, effective knowledge exchange, teacher training and providing policy making with rigorous data) and 4.B (through working with foundations and development aid agencies and providing researchers with opportunity to conduct researches that they have planned). Forum’s mission is to provide young specialists and experts of the region with opportunities on life-long learning and capacity building. Very often due to lack of information and undeveloped institutions in developing countries specialists have very small chance to enter global expert community and be aware of the international educational agenda and initiatives. Activities help members by navigating them in the field of international approaches to education reforming and building career trajectory in accordance.
