"Impact of the Recession and the Longer-term Demand for Skills" - Now available to download

Robert Lindley will lead a workshop to explore the key issues relevant to creating, sustaining, and, ultimately, making a research centre prosper.  The workshop is intended especially for those who direct such centres or who are experienced researchers who may well become directors in the future, or senior administrators of centres.

The workshop will be held at Scarman House, 果冻传媒, on Wednesday 24 June 2009. This event has been prepared jointly by ARCISS and the 果冻传媒.  Anyone interested in joining this workshop can find further details and registration instructions on the

The two day workshop is to be held at Cedefop (Thessaloniki, Greece).  Both Rob Wilson and Ilias Livanos, who have been involved in the Cedefop project, will be presenting and introducing roundtable discussions at the event.

The project, entitled Forecasting Skill Supply and Demand in Europe, is focussing on the anticipation of the demand for and supply of skills at a pan-European level, using quantitative methods. It is part of Cedefop's forecasting activities, supported by funding from DG Employment.  The research team is led by the 果冻传媒 Institute for Employment Research, and includes also Cambridge Econometrics (both from the UK), Alphametrics (Belgium), the Research Centre for Education and the Labour Market ROA (Netherlands), as well as a number of other experts, including EPC (from the Czech Republic). This is all taking place within the wider framework of Cedefop’s international network on early identification of skill needs ’Skillsnet’.

As part of the ESRC-Seminar Series 'Coping with Uncertainty: European labour markets and the politics of social reform in comparative perspective', Anne Green and Michael Orton will be presenting on urban governance. The 'Regional Diversity and Local Economic Development' (sponsored by the ESRC) organised by Cambridge University Centre for Business Research and 果冻传媒 European Policy Network (WEPN) will be on Friday June 5th 2009, 8:45am-4:15pm at the 果冻传媒 Business School, 果冻传媒.
