Call for papers: ECER 2012 incl. VETNET programme - Cadiz (Spain) 17-21 September 2012 :The European Educational Research Association and the University of Cadiz, Spain, invite Educational Researchers to participate in and to submit proposals for the European Conference on Educational Research 2012 (Emerging Researchers’ Conference: 17– 18 September 2012; Main Conference:  18 – 21 September 2012; ). The conference theme "The Need for Educational Research to Champion Freedom, Education and Development for All" will provide a focus for the keynote addresses and for other invited events. However, proposals for contributions are welcome from all fields of educational research.The European research network in vocational education and training (VETNET) particularly invites proposals related to its major research areas (see network page: http://www.eera.de/networks/network2/). VET contributes to satisfy not just education and development for all (the motto of this year's conference), but it also equips apprentices and students with the education necessary to enter the labour market as both workers and citizens. Given the current effects of the financial crisis upon both citizenship and working conditions, VET has perhaps a greater relevance than in other circumstances among educational research.Participants are invited to hand in up to two abstracts for papers, posters, workshops, round tables and symposia - deadline: 01 February 2012 (all proposals to be submitted online!).ECER 2012 website: http://www.eera.de/ecer2012/
