18th European Economics Education Conference - Contemporary Challenges for Economics and Business Education
This 18th European Economics Education Course and Conference is an international meeting of teachers, teacher trainers, inspectors and researchers with a professional interest in all aspects of Economics and Business Education in Europe and worldwide. Under the broad theme “Contemporary Challenges for Economics and Business Education” the conference seeks to draw together the latest thinking and developments on curricula, assessment, pedagogy and research. The ethos of our conferences is to promote discussion and the exchange of ideas and good practice through talks and interactive workshops.
There will be an opportunity to participate in early evening focus groups where participants will be encouraged to critically appraise the current state of economic and business education, to share good practice, discuss the features of a core curriculum for economics education in the EU and whether it should be defined by common content, concepts and/or competencies.
