Madelief Kuijper (VU, Amsterdam) will present on the ongoing TwinWise project, which investigates intergenerational transmission of children's numeracy, literacy, and learning behaviours through combining twin-family data with a randomized controlled trial.

Josefina Bernardo (VU, Amsterdam) will present an ongoing project at the Public Health Institute in Oslo. The project investigates the intergenerational transmission of educational outcomes using children’s GPA.

Kassandra Pomper (VU, Amsterdam) will explore how children with autism, ADHD, and dyslexia spend their free time, with a focus on differences between boys and girls.

Britt Min (CREATE, UiO) will present on intergenerational transmission of learning difficulties and ADHD.
