The conference to formally launch the report referencing the qualifications frameworks of the UK to the EQF took place at the John McIntyre Conference Centre in Edinburgh on 26-27 April. Over 140 delegates attended from countries as far apart as Hong Kong, South Africa and Estonia. Delegate evaluation on the event is being collated, but anecdotal feedback indicates that attendees found the keynote presentations and workshops to be of great interest and relevance to their roles. Copies of all presentations are available to download.
