- EU/EDUCATION:
Increasing student loans to support access, quality and mobility
in EU education
On 22-23 January, Governments, academia and representatives
of the banking sector met in Luxemburg to discuss the role of
student loans in promoting access, quality and mobility in EU
education and training at an International Policy Conference on
Student Lending organised by the European Investment Bank. The
cost of attending university varies significantly across Europe
and the availability of financial support for access to higher
education is not uniform. Participants at the conference shared
experience on existing student loan programmes, examined strengths
and weaknesses of the systems, and discussed the potential for
increased co-operation at EU level. Currently, the European Investment
Bank helps to finance student loans in several EU countries and
is willing to expand its operations. To increase university attendance
and access, providing students with equitable financial support,
the European Commission will therefore continue to work with Member
States and the European Investment Bank to explore options to
facilitate access to support for student lending.

journals. A prize of £250 will be awarded annually for the
best essay on a subject related to vernacular architecture. The
emphasis may be historical, structural, stylistic or archaeological,
and the winning essay will be considered for publication in Vernacular
Architecture. The essays will be judged by a panel appointed by
the committee of the Vernacular Architecture Group, and the judges
will be looking for evidence of originality of thought, quality
of research, and clarity of expression. The decision of the judges
is final, and the Group reserves the right not to award the prize
if there are no suitable entries...

the culture called “North Obeid”) and the already
existing urban society at the beginning of the 3rd millenium (such
