RONALD EHRENBERG LECTURE /
LAUNCH OF THE IRISH UNIVERSITIES STUDY
This joint Geary Institute/Irish Universities Association (IUA) event will mark the launch of the Irish Universities Study (IUS). This is a 3 year longitudinal study of the 3rd and 4th level populations of the 7 universities. The sector-wide survey is a major innovation providing the universities with the ability to formulate policy for students and researchers based on sound evidence. The IUS is being carried out on behalf of the IUA by the UCD Geary Institute sponsored by the Strategic Innovation Fund (SIF).
The keynote speaker will be Professor Ronald G. Ehrenberg, Director of the Cornell Higher Education Research Institute. From 1995 to 1998 he served as Cornell's Vice President for Academic Programs, Planning and Budgeting. He has authored or co-authored over 120 papers and 20 books and is a leading figure in the fields of labour economics and education policy. Prof Ehrenberg will discuss international best practice in the evaluation of higher education policy and will outline future directions in this area.
