Particularly worth noting in this edition are calls for papers relating to the London Conference on Employer Engagement in Education and Training, the CVER Conference on the economics of VET (see Conferences), the VET & Culture meeting in Vienna, the EAPRIL conference in Porto (see Networks), the International Journal of HRD Practice, Policy & Research, and the Journal of International Mobility: deadline 1st April! (see Publications).

An event for practitioners, policy makers and others interested in the future of adult education in Edinburgh.

Adult Education: The Challenge of Change – often referred to as the Alexander Report – was the foundational document for the development across Scotland of Community Education Services. Forty years on is perhaps an apt time to take stock of what it achieved for adult education, and its legacy.

The Higher Vocational Education and Pedagogy in England (HIVE-PED) research seminar series map out the research territory, report research findings, facilitate debate, and make research-based proposals relating to the field of higher vocational education and pedagogic research.

We're delighted to let you know that the Call for Papers is now open for SCUTREA's 2016 Conference, 'Adult Education in Austere Times', which is being organised in collaboration with the Vaughan Centre for Lifelong Learning, University of Leicester. The conference will take place at the University of Leicester's College Court Conference Centre from Tuesday 5th until Thursday 7th July 2016.
