This is my first newsletter as the new secretary of ESREA. I hope you will find it interesting. 2016 is a special year with the Triennial Conference in Maynooth, Ireland where we will celebrate that the idea of ESREA was born 25 years ago. ESREA also have a new logo. Thus, there are lots of things to commemorate as we proceed with promoting research on the education of adults in Europe and beyond:

Particularly worth noting in this edition are calls for papers relating to the London Conference on Employer Engagement in Education and Training, the CVER Conference on the economics of VET (see Conferences), the VET & Culture meeting in Vienna, the EAPRIL conference in Porto (see Networks), the International Journal of HRD Practice, Policy & Research, and the Journal of International Mobility: deadline 1st April! (see Publications).
