In the context of its EU-funded EBI-II project on Benchmarking in European Higher Education (2008-2010), ESMU is co-organising a series of three dissemination workshops in Budapest, Valencia and Nantes.
  
 Based on the findings of the EBI-II project, the workshops provide concrete and hands-on advice on how to carry out benchmarking exercises in higher education institutions. With short introductory presentations, concrete examples and working group sessions, the EBI-II workshops focus on selecting appropriate indicators for data-gathering, setting targets for improvement and designing institutional action plans. They provide participants with practical tools to start benchmarking exercises, alerting them of critical success factors and pitfalls.

  
The workshops complement the EBI-II conference on Benchmarking in European Higher Education and will also be held at the Central European University (CEU) in Budapest (27 August 2010) and as a joint EAIR-ESMU workshop linked to the EAIR Forum in Valencia (1 September 2010)
  
The dissemination workshops focus on the EBI-II project's selected benchmarking themes, namely governance, university-enterprise cooperation and curriculum reform.
  
The workshop announcement, three individual workshop programmes and all the information regarding registrations can be found here at www.education-benchmarking.org

We would also like to encourage you to circulate this invitation to colleagues within and outside of your organization. For the online registration system and further practical information, please visit www.education-benchmarking.org
