The Swiss Coordination Centre for Research in Education SCCRE is an institution under the auspices of the Swiss federal government and the Swiss Conference of Cantonal Ministers of Education (EDK). This joint involvement of federal and cantonal bodies stems from the fact that in Switzerland education is basically within the competency of the cantons while the promotion of research is largely conducted at the federal level.

The SCCRE was established in 1971 and is located in a villa called «Franckegut» built in 1903 in the city of Aarau, Switzerland. It currently has a staff of twelve.
