In this edition of the L&W Newsletter you should note in particular several calls for papers relating to international conferences on Researching Work and Learning (RWL 11) in Giessen, Human resource development (UFHRD 2019) in Nottingham, HRD and workplace learning in Gothenburg, Lifelong learning and innovation (UALL 2019) in Telford (see Conferences) and on Career development (NICEC) in Manchester (see Networks and Organisations) and the Routledge handbook on organization and human resource management (see Publications). Also, registration is open for the EAPRIL 2018 conference in Portorož/Piran (see Conferences) and the Winter School 2019 on adult education & lifelong learning in Würzburg (see Programmes). And not to overlook: the Senior Researcher Position at SFIVET Bern (see Networks and Organisations)!

The conference was attended by over 500 delegates including a large international delegation from many countries in Asia, North America, Europe and Australia. I accompanied a delegation from Al Wakra City in Qatar. The Qatar delegation were the only representatives from the Middle East.
