This article presents information about several study programs and conferences. A new four-year program on European Management and Organizations in Transition has been approved by the European Science Foundation beginning in 1993. It will be directed by professor Anna Grandori and professor Richard Whitley. A conference on Educational innovation in Economics and Business Administration will be held during December 9-11, 1993 in Maastricht, the Netherlands. The central theme of the conference will be "Innovation in Economics and Business Administration Education: The Case of Problem-Based Learning". The conference is designed to bring together faculty members, policy-makers, and educational researchers to address issues which will emerge whenever faculty decide to implement new educational approaches or to improve educational quality. In addition to paper presentations and workshops, a meeting will be held to organize a Network of Faculties of economics and business administration. The general aim of the network will be to provide mutual support to member institutions that wish to adapt their curriculum to highly innovative programs.
