Platform data certainly isn’t the most important thing, but it does at least provide an indication of how one’s research is being received. That’s why it’s a good opportunity to take a quick look: Timo Lüke’s publications have now been viewed more than 50,000 times on the academic social network ResearchGate. The ResearchGate Interest Score currently stands at over 1,100. The fact that so many reads have been accumulated is the result of the outstanding projects carried out by all team members in our field. Even though such metrics should be taken with a grain of salt, they do demonstrate that research in the field of inclusion-oriented diagnostics is generating considerable interest.
Or to put it another way: We shouldn’t read too much into these numbers, but we’d still like to take a moment to celebrate over 50,000 views.

During the 2026 team retreat in Kassel, the full team met to review ongoing work and spark new initiatives. The intensive discussions and shared time on site strengthened team spirit and set important impulses for the months ahead.

At the Pacific Coast Research Conference (February 4–6), Timo Lüke, together with Christine A. Espin (Leiden University, Netherlands) and Moritz Börnert-Ringleb (Leibniz University Hannover), presented the symposium “Bridging the Assessment-to-Instruction Gap: Insights from International Research.”
The symposium showcased findings from a workshop held in the Netherlands in June, focusing on key challenges and potential solutions for linking assessment and instruction. Particular attention was given to the design of assessments, the analysis of student progress data, and the effective use of this data to inform teaching.

In addition, Timo Lüke presented a poster titled “Implementing Inclusive Education: Testing Transfer Models of Teacher Training.”
