>> World Education Market 2003 in Lisbon, Portugal

The WEM is a combination of trade fair and conference which is solely aimed at a professional international audience. The objective of the WEM is to bring decision-makers from the private and public sector together in order to compare experience, find partners, establish business connections and to obtain information on current topics and trends in the international education markets. On the whole, the WEM has a multi-sector focus, offering decision-makers at colleges and universities, government ministries, the area of initial and continuing vocational training, the media and the telecommunications industry an international forum unique of its kind in the world. According to experts, there is still a shortage of market information and data in many countries. The WEM offers a good platform for an international exchange of information to counteract this.
A total of 1,500 persons from a total of 68 countries, including 330 exhibitors, took part in WEM 2003. 

On the first morning of the trade fair, iMOVE offered a “National Spotlight” informational event entitled “Training made in Germany. Blended learning – splendid solutions”. The participants in the German stand presented their programmes on offer and solutions to problems with respect to the topic of "blended learning". Almost 70 persons attended the event, making it a complete success. You can have a look at the “National Spotlight” programme .  

Afterwards a lunch cocktail reception took place at the German stand, with the Deputy German Ambassador to Portugal, Mr. Götz Lingenthal, giving the welcoming address. Here the numerous visitors had the opportunity to establish new contacts, ask questions on the information event, get to know individual offers and projects of exhibitors at the German stand, etc..
