It is an honour and a real pleasure to invite you to participate in the 10th International Conference on “Further Education in the Balkan Countries”, Konya-Turkey, October 23rd – 26th, 2008. The conference will be held at Selçuk University. The university is in Konya which lies in the central part of Turkey and is known as the first capital city of Seljuks in 12th and 13th centuries.

The organising committee agreed on the topic “further education”. Although the term, further education, is mainly used in connection with education in the United Kingdom, we mean post secondary education. In this context, it covers various educational entities and institutions such as higher education, lifelong education, adult education, non-formal education, vocational education, teacher education and the like.

We will have a good chance to discuss different educational problems under the umbrella of this term during the conference.

We will be very happy to receive your proposals by April 20th, 2008.


Prof. Dr. Özcan Demirel
