International Dialogue on Education |

|
 This workshop series is a joint initiative of the British Council, the German Academic Exchange Service, the German-American Fulbright Commission, the Australian Group of Eight and the Canadian Bureau for International Education in Berlin.
Through the contributions of participants, the series aims to enrich debate on science, research and higher education policy in Germany, to place German perspectives in a global context and to learn from positive examples from other countries.
The workshops are held in April and October each year in Berlin, Germany. The workshop on 30 April 2009 considered the marketing and branding of higher education in Australia, Canada, the US and UK and compared this to the situation in Germany. The theme of the conference on 19 October 2009 was integrating lifelong learning into universities' missions which attracted participants from the German Foreign Office, the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, and directors of graduate schools from across the country.
The next workshop will take place on 26 April 2010 and will address 'Exploring Difference: Recruitment, Selection and Admission of Doctoral Candidates'.
