The Emerging Field Group initiative is intended to support researchers active in innovative and exciting fields. EARLI Emerging Field Groups (EFG) consist of a small group of internationally active researchers working in the field of learning and instruction active within a new, emerging field of research. EARLI offers these researchers the opportunity to work together during a short but intense period of time to explore the possibilities in their shared field of interest.
EFGs are intended for exploratory, innovative and risk-taking approaches. Being part of an Emerging Field Group allows for its participants to focus on experimental and new fields of research, with an emphasis on exploration and process rather than output and product.
Following a lengthy evaluation procedure, four applications have been granted the EARLI Emerging Field Group funding for 2018 – 2020.
Portable Brain Technologies in Educational Neuroscience Research
led by Nienke van Atteveldt, VU Amsterdam, the Netherlands
The Potential of Biophysiology for Understanding Learning and Teaching Experiences
led by Lars-Erik Malmberg, Oxford University, United Kingdom
Unifying Cognitive Load and Self-Regulated Learning Research: Monitoring and Regulation of Effort (MRE)
led by Anique de Bruin, Maastricht University, the Netherlands
EarlyWritePro: Developing Methods for Understanding Early Writing through Analysis of Process Dysfluencies
led by Mark Torrance, Nottingham Trent University, United Kingdom
The first two EARLI emerging field groups nominees show that triangulation and combination of new data sources like portable EEG and other physiological data promise new insights into learning and regulation processes. It can be expected that these emerging fields will gain strength within in the scientific community for the next years.

Timeline
APPLICATION of EARLI emerging field groups
Following this open call, EARLI welcomes all applications that demonstrate a clear link to the EFG eligibility and evaluation criteria described in the EFG Policy.
We also ask that each EFG supplies a short video supporting the application. This video should address how the EFG aims to promote innovative research through new methodologies, risk-taking approaches, new theoretical concepts and/or multidisciplinary efforts … .
Therefore, the video application (max. 3 minutes) should not be a direct copy of the written application. Rather, it is an opportunity for EFG applicants to stress the main aims and scope of the EFG.
Evaluation of EARLI emerging field groups
Each application will be evaluated by an international committee, consisting of the EARLI President, EARLI President-Elect and EARLI Secretary-Treasurer, a representative of the Jacobs Foundation and one or more high-standing European non-academic beneficiaries/stakeholders/societal partners. The final decision will be made by the EARLI Executive Committee. They will assess each eligible application according to the following criteria, with the scope and activities as defining factors:
The EFG meets the eligibility criteria as described in the EFG Policy image The EFG scope is exploratory, innovative and risk-taking
The EFG activities are clearly outlined and purposeful The proposed budget represents value for money
The EFG Facilitator is an EARLI member
The EFG members are from more than one country / institute Involvement of and relevance for Junior Researchers
Involvement of researchers from low GDP countries is highly recommended
The EFG undertakes efforts to disseminate its findings, and contributes to the progress of scientific research in Learning and Instruction
