The European qualifications framework: linking to a globalised world.
International conference European Parliament, Brussels 29-30 January 2009.

Agenda

Background

The conference will specifically consider the role that qualification frameworks based on learning outcomes can play in improving the transparency of qualifications in the context of increasing mobility, as well as looking at the implications of the EQF and national or regional qualification frameworks as international reference points. In doing so the conference will look further at the learning outcomes approach as a ‘common language’ for describing and comparing qualifications internationally and the EQF as a platform for dialogue on increased co-operation between national and regional qualifications systems.

The conference is organised into a series of five plenary sessions that look at the practice and development of qualifications frameworks from the perspectives of different countries.

- Session 1 - The European Qualifications Framework
- Session 2 - Qualification frameworks worldwide
- Session 3 - Qualifications and development
- Session 4 - Qualification frameworks in partner countries of the EU
- Closing Session

The third session chaired by Martha Pacheco, ILO/Cinterfor Director, will include reflections from the ETF on the potential of frameworks in a development context including their contribution to the alignment of education policies with country needs and improvements in trust and quality in national systems.

The conference will conclude with a statement identifying processes for the sharing of information between different frameworks, opportunities for developing partnerships between international stakeholders and a follow up meeting for countries wishing to continue dialogue and share experience with the international community.
