(INSIDE EU)Institute for Studies in Social Inclusion, Diversity and Engagement
A leading European research institute advancing inclusive education and system change.
INSIDE EU is a European non-profit institute of education and research and a trusted authority with almost a decade’s experience designing and implementing inclusive practice. We support education providers, public and private bodies and contribute to EU-funded projects across Ireland and Europe.
As an accredited educational provider with special consultancy status with the United Nations, our work is aligned with the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD) and key EU policy frameworks, including the European Education Area and the EU Disability Strategy 2021–2030. Over the years, we have coordinated high-level international initiatives to enhance these political frameworks at EU level.
INSIDE EU is led by neurodivergent professionals with lived experience, combining research excellence and policy expertise to deliver real-world impact. We design person-centred, rights-based inclusion solutions that move organisations beyond compliance to measurable impact.
Our holistic model supports long-term change through training, consultancy, research and implementation, delivering high-impact multi-sector results, particularly in education and learning systems.

We focus on practical, sustainable change that moves beyond policy compliance to deliver real-world impact at organisational, cultural and personal levels.
