Nexus Meets…Cosmos

Sarah Dirrane 4 Apr 2025

I recently had the pleasure of sitting down with ‘Nexus Meets’ to talk about our organisation, our mission, and how we are using research to improve student outcomes 🎓

We believe in not just measuring change – but using real data to drive it. With insights from over 100,000 students, we are pinpointing what interventions actually work, and for whom, in education.

Thank you to Nexus Leeds for the opportunity to share our journey – really enjoyed doing this interview – and also love being part of the community!

If you care about student success, evidence-based impact, or just love a good conversation the full interview is linked below 👇🏾
