The Learning Variability Network Exchange (LEVANTE) brings together researchers from around the world aiming to capture the richness and diversity of child development and learning.
Only by conducting open-access, cutting-edge research can we enhance our knowledge on learning and developmental variability.
Delve into the science of learning variability, explore cutting-edge research, and discover practical insights to enhance learning for all.

LEVANTE provides a solid legal, ethical, and technical foundation, enabling research teams to systematically gather and analyse data from children aged 2-12.
The overarching purpose of LEVANTE is to identify how individual variability, group heterogeneity, and contextual variability influence children’s learning and development. By including data collection of common measures on these different areas longitudinally and at a global level, LEVANTE will help researchers, educators, and policy-makers understand child development within individuals, within groups, and across contexts, thus improving future outcomes for diverse groups of children worldwide.
The LEVANTE Data Archive (LDA), hosted by Stanford University is the first cross-cultural, multidisciplinary open dataset that captures the richness and diversity of child development and learning. The LDA not only facilitates the development of the science of learning variability but also helps constitute the backbone of a larger multidisciplinary, multisectoral research community on learning variability.
Through our extensive network of partners, we’re building bridges across sectors, disciplines, and borders to tackle the most pressing challenges in learning variability.
Our partnerships extend far and wide, encompassing academic institutions, research organisations, non-profits, government agencies, and industry leaders. Together, we’re harnessing the collective expertise and resources of diverse stakeholders to co-create solutions that drive meaningful change.

Securing support
Find out about our funding opportunities!
Becoming part of LEVANTE means more than just receiving financial support for your research; it’s an opportunity to be part of a movement towards open science and advancing knowledge on learning variability. By applying for funding, you not only receive the necessary resources to pursue your research but also contribute to a global network dedicated to reshaping education. Join us in our mission to transform education!
The LEVANTE application process is hosted by SurveyMonkey and consists of three stages: an initial application, an extended proposal, and an interview. The whole process is expected to take X months. The application portal will be open from X until X. Please click the link below to learn more about the application process.
To contribute data without funding, you can take advantage of our open data initiatives. You can join our data sharing community and engage with other researchers in our network, offer your expertise, and collaborate with others. You can make valuable contributions to open science and data sharing initiatives by actively participating in these avenues, even without financial support.
Our commitment to collaborative data sharing transforms how educators and researchers approach science education, fostering a culture of transparency, accessibility, and collective learning.
By sharing data across institutions, disciplines, and borders, we’re breaking down barriers and accelerating discovery. Through open dialogue and shared insights, we’re building a community where knowledge flows freely and innovation thrives.
