European Evaluation Society –

European Symposium on Evaluative Practices in Higher Education

The EES is delighted to bring to your attention a symposium it is sponsoring with the University of Fribourg and the University of Lancaster to be held at the University of Fribourg in Switzerland, June 5th, 2009. The European Symposium on Evaluative Practices in Higher Education will provide a unique opportunity to focus on evaluative practices embedded in Higher Education. This is an important sector within Europe with rapid changes in European policy, practice and global positioning.

This is the first attempt to explore evaluation in a social policy sector as a whole and introduces an approach which focuses on evaluation practice in a broad sense. This type of work within evaluation research is innovative and suggests a new way of depicting evaluation as practice rather than a 'discipline'.

The symposium will offer an opportunity for exchange, debate and exploration of the way evaluative practice in this important policy area might be depicted and is experienced. It will be of interest to all those working and learning within the Higher Education sector and to managers, officers and administrators at national or regional level. It will offer a framework for discussing evaluative practice in HE and case studies from across Europe.
