Particularly worth noting in this edition are calls for papers relating to the EUCEN conference in Dublin (see Conferences), the Journal of Vocational Education and Training: Special Issue on VET and race/ ethnicity, and the Journal of International Mobility: Issue No 4 on mobility and skills (see Publications), and an update on the Competence 2016 conference in Wageningen (see Conferences).

This study forms part of the publication series “Sustainable Development of Metropolitan Regions” that gives conceptual guidance and recommendations for hands-on approaches for development organizations as well as partner countries in the field of sustainable development of metropolitan regions.
