About UsThe Comparative Research Network was founded in 2007 and worked since then in the field of adult education and research. The CRN Network is specialised in training activities within the fields of intercultural competences, intergenerational learning, mobilities and migration. Additionally, the CRN is specialised in creating and performing evaluation and dissemination processes. CRN lately gained through various projects both as coordinator and participant expertise in game design in education, storytelling and community reporting, where the network is currently carrying out training for several target groups.
Due to CRN being organised as a transnational network, it has an international scope. At the moment, it employs 4 permanent and around 10 freelance staff, and has a network of more than 120 members, located in almost every European country. As a NGO CRN is non-profit oriented and performs crucial part of its work on a voluntary basis. Major target groups of the CRN are beside trainer marginalized groups, such as persons living in remote rural areas, seniors and unemployed. Generally, CRN is seeking to link social science with civil society actions - that is why CRN joined itself various local, national and transnational networks. In its European Work as adult training provider, CRN coordinated already 4 Erasmus Plus Partnerships and participated in two more. During our intercultural training courses, more than 200 facilitators (teacher, trainer) from all programme countries participated in three years. In the research department CRN participated as impact partner and facilitators in a few FP5-7 and Horizon 2020 projects. CRN has an outreach to more than 30 universities across Europe. As the latest achievement CRN started to edit and publish scientific and educational papers and books. All publication receive ISBN but are accessible open source and free of charge.
