The EBEA is the professional subject association for teachers of business, economics and enterprise. EBEA activities include the publication of a journal and other resources for teachers, running conferences for trainee teachers and their mentors, and advocacy on behalf of the subjects represented, including engagement with Ofsted and the Department for Education (DfE).

The IOE Early Career Impact Fellowship is a 5-month researcher development programme that provides funding for the award holder to participate in engagement and impact activities. Award holders work with highly experienced members of the IOE’s Research Engagement and Impact Committee (REIC), academics and other stakeholders to enhance their skills and knowledge for research engagement and impact. Impact Fellows work towards increasing their research engagement with policymakers, practitioners, under-represented groups and organisations beyond academia, aiming to achieve research impact.
