FEIS - International Symposium on the Future of Education in Information Science
10 - 11 September 2018 Pisa
FEIS 2018
The International Symposium on the Future of Education in Information
Science (FEIS 2018) is intended to stimulate discussion about educational
pathways for the information specialists of the future. Today’s and future
knowledge society profoundly changes the way in which information is
produced, organized and accessed, and calls for a reshaping of
traditional studies in library, archives and documentation.
(see the
Call for Papers
for more details).
The EINFOSE project
The aim of the
EINFOSE project
is to overcome differences that exist in the area of entry requirements
and learning outcomes for Master courses offered by European universities
in the field of Information Science. The possibility of defining common
entry requirements could mitigate or even eliminate the differences in
enrollment procedures at different European universities and could
contribute to a higher enrollment of students with different
educational background at the graduate level programs in Information Science.
Final Program
FEIS 2018 final program is now available.
