Please find attached the second ESREA newsletter for 2014. The end of the semester is coming but it is a hectic time in ESREA since three out of eleven networks have their research conferences this month. I have seen the programmes and it seems like there will be a lot of interesting discussions concerning policy, global and local issues in adult learning and development as well as transformative learning.

I’m also glad to announce that the first volume in the ESREA new book series with SENSE Publishers is out! You can read more about it in this newsletter. I also want to ask you to be so kind to inform your university libraries about the ESREA book series and its open access policy; and invite them to include the books from the series in their catalogues.

Having said that, I want to wish all of you a great summer and, hopefully, a restful vacation.
