    Call for Proposals

    30th DeGEval annual conference: AI and Evaluation

    Organiser: DeGEval; SEVAL

    The joint annual con­fe­rence of DeGEval and SEVAL, to be held from 22 to 24 September 2027 in Freiburg (i. Br.), will focus on the theme of ‘AI and Evaluation’.

    The con­fe­rence will provide a forum for dis­cus­sing the following questions, amongst others:

    • How does AI affect eva­lua­ti­on processes, the pro­fes­sio­na­li­sa­ti­on of eva­lua­ti­on and eva­lua­ti­on standards?
    • What myths surround AI appli­ca­ti­ons (e.g. regarding resource savings)?
    • What insights are there regarding the intended and unin­ten­ded con­se­quen­ces of using AI in evaluations?
    • What ethical issues arise from the use of AI in evaluations?
    • What does AI-supported work in eva­lua­ti­on projects look like, and what forms of inter­ac­tion are employed (ranging from ‘human-in-the-loop’ to eva­lua­ti­ve AI that assesses other AI applications)?
    • To what extent have AI appli­ca­ti­ons changed the expec­ta­ti­ons of clients and evaluators?
    • What theo­re­ti­cal concepts are used to integrate AI appli­ca­ti­ons and people in eva­lua­ti­on contexts?

    The German Evaluation Society (DeGEval) invites you to take part in the dis­cus­sion in Freiburg and to submit papers for the annual con­fe­rence online from now until 9 March 2027. Papers may be submitted in German, English or French.

    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.

    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.

    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.
