The project Head in the Clouds has over the last years caught the eye of media in the different hosting countries and the eye of the scientific community. We have been interviewed and/ or asked to present our project. Here are some examples of this media presence:

Each year, the Association for Educational Assessment organizes a conference for researchers, teachers, policy makers and anyone else interested in the field of educational measurement, which is attended by approximately 200 people. The 18th conference took place in Prague ( 9-11th November 2017) and its topic was Assessment Cultures in a Globalised World. Given the topic of the conference, we took the opportunity to present the Head in the Clouds project – the concept, goals and interim results. The presentation was attended by more than 30 people.
