Call for Contributions

 

EUCEN Conference:  Promoting Active Citizenship in Europe. The role of University Continuing Education and Lifelong Learning. Edinburgh 5-7 June 2008.

 

Keynote speakers confirmed:

Prof John Field (University of Stirling)

Prof Ramon Flecha (University of Barcelona)

Prof Tom Schuller (NIACE)

Ms Angela Vegliante (EACEA - European Commission)

 

What do European citizens need to do to become active citizens? How should lifelong learning in universities be responding to this challenge?  Are there examples of good practice in the European Union and what is the future role for lifelong learning in universities?

 

We invite you to send your contributions and to participate in this conference. Our open Call for Contributions will operate in three stages:

 

1. Applications to make contributions must be received by EUCEN by the deadline of 15 February 2008. The abstracts must be submitted using the on-line form (please visit the conference web site <http://www.lifelong.ed.ac.uk/eucen2008/> <http://www.lifelong.ed.ac.uk/eucen2008/> ).

 

2. EUCEN will contact the author of each abstract starting on 05 March 2008 to confirm whether his/her submission has been accepted.

 

3. EUCEN will provide guidelines, which should be followed, for those selected authors invited to submit a full paper. These full papers will be included in the proceedings of the conference. The deadline for submission of the final papers to EUCEN is 15 April 2008.
