European projects in educational research are faced with a common methodological problem: how to analyse issues across countries, cultures, organisations, regions or systems. The aim of the ACROSS Base is to provide evidence of methodology from a broad range of projects and related studies (see introduction). This resource can be accessed from three points, depending on the user's interest:

• access by theme, related to thematic fields and to types of research (recommended as first entry!);
• access by approach, starting out from basic dimensions of educational research;
• access by method, being understood as a broad category including any means of facilitating cross-national research.

A special feature of the ACROSS Base is to publish proceedings of discussion related to methodological issues. The following proceedings, prepared in collaboration with European researchers, are available:

• Methodological approaches in European projects (ECER Round table 2003)
• 'Action research' and a VET framework of innovation (ECER Round table 2004)
