The Ninth Meeting of Heads of Schools of Architecture in Europe will take place in Hania, Crete from 2 to 5 September 2006 and is entitled “ New Directive – New Directions… What is the Academic Direction of our Schools in this New Context?” . It is addressed to those who had the responsibility for the manage me nt of academic issues of schools of architecture such as Rectors, Deans, Heads, Academic Program Coordinators and their representatives.
The Meeting will be dealing with important issues e me rging from the new institutional fra me work, which concerns the recognition by the EU, of academic titles and has been formulated following the new EU Directive (in force from September 2005) and the various interpretations given to the Bologna Accord by schools of architecture in Europe. The Meeting will also investigate the academic consequences on the formulation of new curricula and the emerging difficulties of their compatibility with the new EU Directive.
More specifically the issues to be tackled and will constitute the agenda of the Meeting are: the Mapping of Architectural Education in Europe, EU Recognition of Diplomas and Qualifications, Graduates' Academic and Professional Profile and the Relationship between Architectural Education and the Profession(s) of Architecture. The topics being discussed this year have been developed in collaboration with Prof. James Horan and the EAAE Council.
The Ninth Meeting of the Heads of Schools of Architecture in Europe will debate these issues and attempt to provide answers. It is very important to have a broader range of schools from all regions of Europe in order to have more representative results and conclusions. Registration forms must be submitted by 10 July 2006 .
