Session 1 (9:30-13:00)
10 Years of Heads Meetings. What we have achieved and what we can expect
How do you value the previous meetings of Heads? What was their impact on the debate on Architectural Education in Europe? Most significant achievements (if there are any)... How well did the meetings cover burning issues on architectural education? What issues stayed out of the debates? What future can be sought to this type of events? In what direction must these events go? Can these meetings contribute further to the restructuring of architectural education in Europe?
Introductory panel (9:30-11:00)
Laughlin Kealy (Dublin, Ireland), Richard Foque (Antwerp, Belgium), Juhani Katainen (Tampere, Finland), Anne Elisabeth Toft (Aarhus, Denmark), Joaquin Braizinha (Lisbon, Portugal), Stefan Wrona (Warsaw, Poland).

Session 2 (14:30-17:30)
(Re)structuring the education/profession relations in the perspective of a Competences-Based Education and Lifelong Learning
Chair: James Horan (Dublin, Ireland)
Why a new relationship between education and practice is expected? What is the new concept, the objectives and the perspectives? What must be the ‘new’, the ‘other’, the ‘different’? How a ‘competence based education’ can become a catalyst to a new approach to this relationship? Common language, common framework, common terms. What can Education expect now of the Profession? What can the Profession expect now of Education? How will the new relationship respect the autonomy of the parties involved and the differences of the context in which each one must develop? What forms of collaboration between Education and Profession can develop in the new European context? Does the Lifelong learning perspective offer a new opportunity and how (ex. results of competences inquiry to professionals)?
Introductory panel (14:30-15:45)
Luciano Lazzari (Vice President of the Architects’ Council of Europe), Adrian Joyce (Senior Advisor, Architects’ Council of Europe), Jean Paul Scalabre (President of the Joint Working Party on Education, Architects’ Council of Europe) Marvin Malecha (President, Elected by the American Institute of Architects).

Session 3 (9:30-13:00)
(Re)searching a European Qualifications Framework for Architectural Education. Trends and perspectives
Chair: Constantin Spiridonidis
As a sequel to the Berlin conference, the Bologna follow-up group has taken the initiative of developing an overarching Framework for Qualifications of the European Higher Education Area (EQF for HE). This framework has been adopted at the Bergen Bologna follow-up conference of May 2005. In the summer of 2006 the European Commission launched a European Qualification Framework for Life-Long Learning. Its objective is to encompass all types of learning in one overall framework. We have to develop the qualification framework for architectural education based upon the competences and learning outcomes presented last year. This framework will be a helpful ground for the national qualifications frameworks that different countries will also produce. What have other disciplines done? What are other Countries and schools doing?
Introductory panel (9:30-11:00)

Which are the necessary tools and policies we must develop in order to make easier and more constructive the intercontinental co-operations for the future of architectural education?
