EDEN, the European Distance Education Network, (http://www.eden-online.org/) organises the Fifth EDEN Research Workshop, 20-22 October 2008, Paris: http://www.eden-online.org/eden.php?menuId=392 Theme: Researching and promoting access to education and training: the role of distance education and e-learning in technology-enhanced environments.

International workshop "Creation of technology-enhanced learning solutions for 24/7 professionals", at Maastricht, The Netherlands, September 16, 2008 - in conjunction with the EC-TEL 08 conference. More information can be found on http://www.createl08.net. The objective of this workshop is to provide an interdisciplinary forum, in which scientists and practitioners can exchange creative and innovative ideas on the integration of four principles when facing the educational challenges for 24/7 professionals: on-the-job learning, continuous learning, incorporation of the real-life context in the training and rapid development. This workshop will stimulate the discussion on the integration of findings from research on learning and those on learning technology. A more complete integration of the two would lead to technology-enhanced learning environments that suit (adult) 24/7 learners better. The deadline for the paper submission is July 11th.
Invitation to an international symposium to establish an interdisciplinary network of researchers dealing with the handling of knowledge in a knowledge-based society. The symposium takes place on the 4th and 5th of September, 2008, in Munich. More details can be found here.
