>ELM 2006 Conference
>Maastricht University will host the ELM2006 conference on the
>employability of the new Bologna graduates.
>It is likely that the Bologna objectives will become intertwined with
>phenomena like quality of networks, competition, competencies and
>selectivity. As a result, the Bologna process, and the re-launched Lisbon
>Strategy, would not only generate European graduates, but also
>significantly change the roles of recruiters, academic staff and governments.
>The question is: to what extent, and at which speed? At this conference,
>several options, best practices and outcomes from recently completed
>research will be discussed.
>
>
>
>Conference themes will be
>- higher education and the international labour market;
>- requirements in the national context;
>- the emerging European Labour Market for graduates;
>- new roles for quality, accreditation and institutional research.
>

>Objective; who should attend
>The conference aims at exchanging views, experiences and research outcomes
>from higher education experts, labour market researchers, educational
>researchers, employers, recruiters, experts from international
>organizations, national governments and higher education agencies, as well
>as experts on quality assurance, institutional research and accreditation.
