Do you have interesting educational data? Join LLInC’s Call for Data 2026
The Leiden Learning & Innovation Centre (LLInC) supports Leiden University in determining how Educational Analytics can contribute to teaching and learning while also highlighting the conditions needed to make Learning Analytics a sustainable service. To stimulate experimentation within this innovation theme, we are publishing this Call for Data.
What are we looking for?
We invite all staff and students from across Leiden University to share interesting educational datasets alongside the educational context in which they were collected. LLInC will select a limited number of datasets and work on them during a short innovation sprint in the fall of 2026.
Submitted datasets should have the potential to answer interesting educational questions, inspire the development of new Learning Analytics methods, or result in reusable solutions which help improve the quality, equity, efficiency, or scalability of teaching and learning at Leiden University.
Additionally, we particularly value submissions which:
- Provide existing and reasonably accessible data
- Have a clear contact person
- Fit within a short innovation sprint
If you already have educational questions or ideas you would like to explore, you are welcome to include them alongside your submission. This is not, however, a requirement. If chosen, we may ask you for a conversation to discuss the data, debate ideas, and, occasionally, check our assumptions. Beyond this, only minimal time investment is expected from your side.
Who can apply?
This call is open to all staff and students at Leiden University who work with and have access to educational data or who see an interesting opportunity or need.
Key information
- Submission deadline – 20 September 2026
- Final decision – no later than 5 October 2026
- Publication of results – December 2026
How to submit?
Before you send in your dataset, please ensure that you download and have read the full Call for Data. To make your submission, please complete this form.

Dive deeper into Learning Analytics through the Special Interest Group
Are you looking to explore the topic of Learning Analytics but don’t have a dataset which fits this call?
If you have a more mature project suitable for scaling across the university, you are very welcome to share this at the upcoming ‘Learning Analytics: project and pilot ideation’ session on 14 September. This event is organised by the Learning Analytics Special Interest Group (SIG), open to all across the university with an interest in the subject.
