T-Tudok Knowledge Management and Education Research Centre

T-Tudok is a Hungarian education research and knowledge-management company based in Budapest. Its legal predecessor, the TÁRKI-TUDOK Knowledge Management and Education Research Centre Zrt., was founded on 15 November 2007 by TÁRKI Zrt., an applied social-research firm, together with Judit Lannert, former director of the Research Centre of the National Institute of Public Education. From 5 November 2012 the company continued under the name T-TUDOK Knowledge Management and Education Research Centre Zrt., with the same scope of activity and mission, as a member of the Netvestor group. The organisation describes its mission as helping decision-makers, professionals and anyone interested in education to better understand the processes taking place in education and training. To that end it seeks to disseminate research results produced by its own and other Hungarian and international workshops as widely as possible. It places particular emphasis on making the knowledge it creates useful for practice, explicitly aiming to improve the effectiveness of teaching and learning. T-Tudok's work spans education research and development, school development, teacher and parent support, monitoring and evaluation, evaluation of European Union programmes, secondary analysis of PISA, PIAAC and OKM data, higher education, education policy, indicators, European Union affairs, social inclusion, 21st-century competences and early development. It also engages in international and domestic partnerships, OECD projects, European Union projects, and networks such as the UNESCO observatories in the field of arts and cultural education, the Kölöknet network and the Creative Partnership Programme. The company maintains a public website with sections on its profile, running projects, staff, contact, news and media presence, and publishes a film series titled 'The Secret of Good Education'.

T-Tudok's legal predecessor, the TÁRKI-TUDOK Knowledge Management and Education Research Centre Zrt. (TÁRKI-TUDOK Tudásmenedzsment és Oktatáskutató Központ Zrt.), was founded on 15 November 2007. It was established by TÁRKI Zrt., a company engaged in applied social research, together with Judit Lannert, who had been director of the Research Centre of the National Institute of Public Education (Országos Közoktatási Intézet Kutatási Központja). The venture combined TÁRKI's social-science research capacity with Lannert's expertise in public education research and policy. From 5 November 2012 the company continued its activities under the name T-TUDOK Knowledge Management and Education Research Centre Zrt., with the same scope of activity and mission, now as a member of the Netvestor group. The name change marked the transition from the joint TÁRKI-TUDOK identity to an independent T-Tudok brand within the Netvestor corporate group. Over the years T-Tudok has built a portfolio centred on applied education research and knowledge management. Its stated mission is to help decision-makers, professionals and the education-interested public better understand processes in education and training, and to disseminate research results from its own and other Hungarian and international workshops as widely as possible. A distinctive emphasis is placed on making the knowledge it generates useful for practice, with the explicit aim of improving the effectiveness of teaching and learning. The organisation's thematic areas include education research and development, school development, support for teachers and parents, monitoring and evaluation, evaluation of European Union programmes, secondary analysis of PISA, PIAAC and OKM data, higher education, education policy, indicators, European Union affairs, social inclusion, 21st-century competences and early development. It also works through international and domestic partnerships, OECD projects, European Union projects, and networks such as the UNESCO observatories in the field of arts and cultural education, the Kölöknet network and the Creative Partnership Programme. Its public-facing activities include a knowledge-management conference presence, media appearances, training, recommended literature and a film series titled 'The Secret of Good Education'.
