Save the date: ITEM Seminar 'Recognition of Qualifications'
On 29 June 2016 the Institute for Transnational and Euregional cross border Cooperation and Mobility / ITEM is organizing a seminar on the recognition of qualifications.
Following up on the successful 2015 ITEM-North Rhine-Westphalia workshop that focused on health care workers and educators, ITEM now seeks to expand the scope of this upcoming seminar. Not only will the 2016 seminar be expanded to include the Benelux countries and Germany, but additional sectors and professions will be included in the upcoming seminar.
The event will take place on Wednesday June 29th between 10:00 and 17:00 at Maastricht University’s Faculty of Law (Bouillonstraat 1-3, 6211 LH Maastricht). The day will consist of plenary sessions with presentations from keynote speakers, profession-specific workshops, and discussions aimed at identifying plans for action to improve the recognition of qualifications.
Please mark the date! More information on the programme is expected to be communicated shortly.
