The International Consortium for Educational Development in Higher Education 
(ICED) will hold its third World Conference from July 22nd to July 26th, 
2000 in Bielefeld, Germany. Last year's conference in Austin, Texas 
attracted participants from 19 countries.

Initially established in Oxford in 1993, ICED is an association of national 
educational development networks. The aims of ICED are:
* to help partner organizations to develop their capacity for 
educational development in higher education through the sharing of good 
practice 
* to enlarge the number of partner organisations of ICED 
* to help educational developers in countries where no national 
network exists to from such a network 
* to support educational development in higher education in developing 
countries 
* to link with other national and international organizations

Preceeded by an 'Internet Forum' virtual conference, the event in Bielefeld 
will encourage the exchange of findings from research and development 
activities in academic/educational development and their applicability to a 
range of issues of interest to participants. These include quality assurance 
in higher education, teaching competences and changes to the curriculum and 
academic structures.
