Second Workshop July 8, 2013

Body

In summer, the three organisations convened a second expert meeting to follow up on the recommendations that arose from the first event, and to discuss opportunities, challenges, and next steps in supporting the Institute going forward.

The main objective of the meeting was to discuss three draft curriculum development tools which arose out of recommendations from the April 2013 expert meeting in Brussels. Participants expressed their appreciation for the quality of the draft products and provided extremely rich and insightful suggestions for their improvement. Based on feedback provided over the course of the meeting as well as ongoing engagement by participating experts, the curriculum development tools will be revised and ultimately submitted for consideration by the Institute’s Board of Governors.
