The U-Map Estonian Seminar

23 September, Tartu (Estonia)

The U-Map Estonian Dissemination seminar will be organized on Friday 23 September 2011 in Tartu. At this seminar the outcomes of the U-Map project for Estonia will be presented and discussed.

The mapping of higher education institutions in Estonia according to the U-Map model is well underway. We envisage that in the beginning of September the U-Map activity profiles created for almost all Estonian institutions will be available. In line with the protocol, the institutions then will need to approve these. In the seminar on 23 September the U-Map team will present the results of the U-Map project in your country and discuss the institutional U-Map profiles within the Estonian higher education policy context. Next to the higher education institutions’ representatives the seminar may be of interest to various other stakeholders, such as policy-makers, students, higher education researchers, and representatives of various intermediary bodies dealing with higher education. The aim for the seminar is to actively involve all the U-Map participants and the various stakeholders by presenting different user-perspectives on U-Map as a university profiling tool.
