AEA-Europe Newsletter: call for contributions for Issue 4

The third issue of the Association’s newsletter is in process and will be published (electronically) in the spring of 2010. The communications committee would like help from members to make the information as up to date and relevant as possible. In particular we would like the following:

• Articles for the "Work in progress" section. These should be a maximum of 500 words long and be formatted under the headings "Context", "What is happening", "Why inform members" and "More information" (brief details of a website or references). Please see Newsletter Issue 2 (available on the Association's website ) if you want more information
  
  
• ("What's new" section) Information on conferences and courses at master and PhD-level. Information should be sent to Guri A. Nortvedt: g.a.nortvedt@isp.uio.no  For conferences we would need to know: Title, date, place, website address For courses at master and PhD-level we would like information on courses on assessment open to international students, bearing in mind any language constraints. We will need the name of the institution, the title for the course in your own language as well as in English, plus dates, town, country, website or a contact address
  
  
• "Members' news": any information on new appointments, promotions, etc. This information to be sent to Julie Sewell: j.sewell@nfer.ac.uk  We would also like some additional AEA-Europe national representatives who would be willing to send information about recent developments in assessment in their countries and approach relevant people to contribute to the "Work in progress" section - we already have some volunteers! Please let Julie (address above) know if you would be interested in this role.

We hope that volunteers may be willing to work with the communications committee in the future. Please send any contributions to me, either at my work email address (above) or to the Association's mailbox: AEAEnews@gmail.com  

Best wishes Julie Sewell (on behalf of the Communications Sub-Committee)
