Συνεδρίαση 21 Φεβρουαρίου 2003, Λονδίνο
ΗΜΕΡΗΣΙΑ ΔΙΑΤΑΞΗ
(Calendar 2003)
Dear Colleagues,
The next meeting of the Task Force on Education and Research (TFER) will
be held in London at the offices of the Architect's Registration Board
(ARB) of the United Kingdom on Friday 21st February at 11h00.
The ARB offices are located at:
8 Weymouth Street
London W1W 5BU
T: +44 207 580 5861.
The office is literally round the corner from the RIBA in Portland Place
and easy to find. The nearest tube stations are, Great Portland Street,
Oxford Circus or Regents Park, depending on which tube line you are taking.
As you will recall from the two previous TFER meetings it was agreed that
all members of the Taskforce would aim to conduct a review of the activity
taking place in the their State in the Fields of Research and Continuing
Professional Development (CPD) with a view to preparing a resume of the
current state of play for presentation to the next meeting. To my knowledge
this has not yet been done and I urge each of you to prepare a short document
for the next meeting. Without input from each of you we will fail to make
progress on these issues.
You will recall the presentations made on research at our meeting in September
and on CPD at our meeting in November. It is work of a similar nature
that I urge you to prepare for your country. I attachcopies of those PowerPoint
presentations that I made on the situation in the UK for reference.
It is intended to make these presentations the main agenda item for the
meeting on February 21st.
The agenda will also include the following:
1. The formal hand over to the new Chairman.
The candidacy of Jean-Paul Scalabre (France) has been approved by the
Executive Board and he takes up his duties at the next meeting.
2. An update on the situation regarding the progress of the new Directive.
3. Review of the position regarding the Queens University Belfast report
on professional experience requirements and a check to see if this information
is already available from the research undertaken in Spain. You are all
referred to the following websites for existing information:

4. We should also review the Terms of Reference,
agreed at the second General Assembly of 2002 in the light of a new Chair
being appointed.
5. A discussion on the Bologna process and on closer co-operation with
the EAAE.
An Irishman, James Horan, Head of the School of Architecture at Bolton
Street takes up the presidency in September 2002 and he is anxious to
forge closer ties with the profession, particularly in the light of the
possible repeal of the Architects Directive.
I look forward to seeing you in London, and to a productive meeting,
Best wishes
Susan Ware
