C omparative and International Education Course Archive Project (CIECAP)
The Comparative and International Education Course Archive Project (CIECAP) is
an on-line database and analytic instrument constructed to serve and advance the
field of comparative education. CIECAP stems from continuing research on the
introductory course in comparative education as carried out by Erwin H. Epstein
of Loyola University Chicago and coordinated by the Comparative and
International Education Graduate Student Association at Loyola. The project's
overarching purpose is to document and analyse how the introductory course is
taught at institutions in the field so as to: 1) deepen understanding of the way
in which comparative education is conceptualised across varying contexts and
over time, and 2) inform the development of curriculum and the teaching of the
course. The CIECAP project is not just one database, but a set of databases that
collectively archive and analyse key elements of the introductory course,
including unit topics, journal articles, texts, authors, and the interests and
specialisations represented by specific course instructors. The WCCES, in its 34th Executive Committee meeting in Malaysia in May 2005, endorsed CIECAP as an official project under the WCCES umbrella. The CIECAP organisers envision the inclusion of course outlines in languages other than English as well as the translation of English-language outlines to other languages.

New European Master of Arts (MA) in Lifelong Learning: Policy and Management
The European Masters in Lifelong Learning: Policy and Management is a new two-year course designed for all those interested in understanding the worldwide growth in post-compulsory education of all kinds, and in coming to terms with the policy implications of this. It combines broader modules introducing comparative approaches to educational research, with others focusing more specifically on issues in Lifelong Learning.
Run by three of Europe's leading institutions specialising in educational research: London's Institute of Education, the Danish Pedagogical University, and the University of Deusto in Spain, the course is supported by the European Union's Erasmus Mundus scheme.
This means that 20 generous scholarships are available for non-European students, providing a unique opportunity for some of the best students from around the world to pursue further studies in Lifelong Learning in prestigious universities located in some of Europe's most exciting cities.
**However, the deadline for scholarship applications is 31 January 2006. This means that applications must be submitted without delay**
