Open Forum: Teaching Research

In September 2012 OsEAN is holding a third edition of "Open Forum for Osteopathic Education" conference. This year’s topic will be "Teaching Research", offering an opportunity for presentations and workshops on how we teach and assess research in our schools.
The conference will be held on Thursday 20th and Friday 21st September 2012 in Sevres, near Paris/France.

The venue of the conference will be the Centre International d’Études Pédagogiques (CIEP), which is a public establishment for education and training by the French Ministry of Education. Because of a limited space in premises available, the maximum number of participants will be kept to 100 people.

As we did for the last meeting, we have arranged the dates of this conference too in conjunction with the OIA, which will organize a separate meeting in Paris on the weekend of September 22nd/23rd. You can attend the meetings back to back, although a separate registration is necessary.

Please feel free to forward this information to colleagues or faculty members who might be interested in presenting or participating to the conference.
