30th DeGEval annual conference: AI and Evaluation

Veranstalter: DeGEval; SEVAL

Die gemein­sa­me Jahrestagung der DeGEval und SEVAL vom 22.–24. September 2027 in Freiburg (i. Br.) stellt das Thema AI and Evaluation in den Mittelpunkt.

Die Tagung bietet ein Forum zur Diskussion u. a. folgender Fragestellungen:

  • Wie wirkt sich KI auf Evaluationsabläufe, die Professionalisierung der Evaluation und Evaluationsstandards aus?
  • Welche Mythen ranken sich um KI-Anwendungen (z. B. hin­sicht­lich der Ressourceneinsparung)?
  • Welche Erkenntnisse gibt es hin­sicht­lich der beab­sich­tig­ten und unbe­ab­sich­tig­ten Folgen des Einsatzes von KI in Evaluationen?
  • Welche ethischen Probleme ergeben sich aus dem Einsatz von KI in Evaluationen?
  • Wie sieht KI-gestützte Arbeit in Evaluationsprojekten aus und welche Formen der Interaktion kommen zum Einsatz (von „Human-in-the-Loop“ bis hin zu eva­lua­ti­ver KI, die andere KI-Anwendungen bewertet)?
  • Inwieweit haben KI-Anwendungen die Erwartungen von Auftraggebenden und Evaluierenden verändert?
  • Welche theo­re­ti­schen Konzepte werden genutzt, um KI-Anwendungen und Menschen in Evaluationskontexten zu integrieren?

Die Gesellschaft für Evaluation e.V. (DeGEval) lädt dazu ein, sich an der Diskussion in Freiburg zu betei­li­gen und Beiträge für die Jahrestagung ab sofort bis 9. März 2027 online ein­zu­rei­chen. Beitragseinreichungen sind in deutscher, eng­li­scher und fran­zö­si­scher Sprache möglich.

Strengthening TVET systems through deve­lo­ping centres of voca­tio­nal excellence

BIBB, European Training Foundation (ETF)

As part of the BMBFSFJ initiative Towards a Global TVET Agenda (TGTA), the TGTA team at BIBB, in collaboration with the European Training Foundation (ETF), is pleased to present a webinar exploring a core theme of the initiative. Outstanding TVET centres can act as catalysts within wider skills ecosystems. Working together, these institutions can learn from one another, forge connections to the public sector and support innovation. By creating the conditions for institutions to continuously improve and respond to changing skills needs, these institutions can help to strengthen TVET systems. When supported by effective governance, quality assurance, and partnerships they contribute to more resilient TVET systems. This webinar explores how the European Training Foundation (ETF) is supporting the identification and analysis of approaches to excellence through a ‘landscape mapping’, examining the enabling conditions that are rooted in different country contexts.

Es ermöglicht neben der Diskussion und der Vernetzung gemeinsame Standards zu setzen. Das 11. OJA Forum ist in fünf Sessions unterteilt:
  • Dateninfrastrukturen und Analysepipelines
  • Ausbildungsmarkt und akademische Jobprofile: Erkenntnisse aus Stellenanzeigen

The EU VET Strategy: From Policy to Practice

European Association of Institutes for Vocational Training - EVBB

As work on the VET Strategy moves forward, the EVBB Annual Conference 2026 will bring together VET leaders, policymakers, project practitioners and institutional partners in Paris to explore what the strategy means for the future of vocational education and training across Europe. Under the theme Europe's VET Strategy in Action, the three-day conference will provide a platform for policy discussions, knowledge exchange and cooperation, connecting European priorities with the experiences and needs of VET institutions and organisations. The programme will feature interactive Implementation Labs, where participants can contribute to shaping practical outcomes, alongside a study visit to a Parisian VET institution and networking opportunities designed to encourage new partnerships and future projects.

The future of VET

Cornerstone for competitiveness and inclusive growth

Cedefop

The virtual conference will provide an opportunity for policy-makers, stakeholders, experts and researchers to discuss the findings of the research project on VET excellence and inclusion.
Its aim will be to deepen Cedefop’s understanding of the challenges facing European vocational education and training (VET) in the coming decades. Discussions will focus on how the concepts of excellence and inclusion are understood, addressed and operationalised at a national level. The conference will examine the characteristics of VET at higher levels and how (as well as whether and in which form) they underpin excellence but also how they deal with inclusion. It further complements the ongoing political discussion on the future of European VET.

EUROSTUDENT Talks × WAHED 2026

From Data to Action – Making Higher Education More Accessible

Eurostudent

As part of November’s World Access to Higher Education Day activities, a special episode of EUROSTUDENT Talks takes place on November 19, focusing on how data can help make higher education more accessible and equitable. Cordelia Menz and Sylvia Mandl from the Institute for Advanced Studies Vienna (IHS), Helga Posset from Austria’s Federal Ministry of Women, Science and Research, and David Reilly from Ireland’s Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science will come together to explore how EUROSTUDENT data can help identify inequalities in access to higher education, highlight barriers faced by students, and inform effective policymaking.  Bringing together European-level evidence and national policy experiences from Austria and Ireland, the discussion will also look at how data can be translated into concrete action to promote more equitable access to higher education. Registration is necessary.
