LINQ 2013: Submission Deadline for CfP Extended



The consistent demand demonstrated by applicants concerning the 2nd 
European Conference on "Learning Innovations and Quality" (LINQ) has 
encouraged the organizers at the University of Duisburg-Essen to extend 
the submission period for papers and project presentations until the 4th 
of March, 2013. LINQ, the leading annual European conference on learning 
innovations and learning quality, has already attracted submissions from 
throughout Europe, as well as Asia, America, and Africa. This year thus 
shows a continuation in the high level of interest which made LINQ 2012 
such a successful conference in Brussels last year.



“We are pleasantly overwhelmed with the response to this year’s call 
for papers and call for projects,� says Christian M. Stracke, LINQ 
Conference Chair and international ISO Convener for learning quality 
from the University of Duisburg-Essen. “Through this extension we 
intend to even more greatly expand the diversity of both practical and 
theoretical approaches to the issue of digital repositories in lifelong 
learning, as well as learning innovations and quality.�



This year LINQ 2013 and its motto "Innovations and Quality: The Future 
of Digital Resources" addresses and invites experts active in the field 
of Innovations and Quality in Lifelong Learning (LLL). Potential points 
of access to this field include new learning methods and design, 
Technology-Enhanced Learning (TEL), quality standards and certification, 
human resources development, competences and skills, digital resources, 
learning materials, and online collaboration and communities.



The LINQ 2013 call for papers invites all experts and practitioners to 
contribute to LINQ’s dialogue through the submission of high-quality 
papers describing fully-developed results, on-going work or innovative 
concepts related to the following topics:



• Innovations and future trends in Learning, Education and Training (LET)

• Quality improvement and learning outcome orientation in LET
