La ministre de la réforme de l’État, de la décentralisation et de la fonction publique a présenté le projet de protocole d’accord relatif à l’égalité professionnelle dans la fonction publique qui sera signé le 8 mars, journée internationale des droits des femmes.
Cet accord est le premier de l’histoire de la fonction publique à recueillir l’approbation des dix organisations syndicales représentatives des trois versants de la fonction publique, ainsi que des représentants des employeurs territoriaux et hospitaliers.
Ce consensus est l’expression d’une détermination collective à avancer vers une plus grande exemplarité de la fonction publique en plaçant l’égalité professionnelle au cœur du dialogue social.
Les parties prenantes ont souhaité en premier lieu montrer l’exemple en s’engageant à favoriser une représentation équilibrée entre les femmes et les hommes au sein des instances de dialogue social. Les administrations de l’Etat, les collectivités territoriales et les établissements publics hospitaliers s’engagent par ailleurs, dans le cadre d’une démarche intégrée, à prendre en compte systématiquement les enjeux d’égalité professionnelle dans toutes les concertations et négociations à venir au sein de la fonction publique.
Des mesures concrètes ont été négociées en matière d’égalité salariale, d’avancement, de mobilité, d’accès à la formation, afin d’améliorer le déroulement de carrière des femmes et de lever les obstacles qui aujourd’hui les pénalisent.
Le protocole d’accord comporte également des mesures destinées à permettre aux agents de mieux articuler leur vie professionnelle et leur vie personnelle et à mieux informer et accompagner les parents dans les choix de carrière liés à la vie familiale.
Enfin, le protocole d’accord comporte des mesures destinées à prévenir et prendre en charge les violences faites aux agents sur leur lieu de travail, et à lutter contre toute forme de harcèlement sexuel ou moral.
Le Gouvernement compte sur l’implication de chaque employeur public pour ouvrir des négociations avec les organisations syndicales, afin de mettre en œuvre les orientations de cet accord cadre dans chaque département ministériel, au niveau central et déconcentré, mais aussi dans les collectivités territoriales et dans les établissements relevant de la fonction publique hospitalière. Conseil des ministres du 06 mars 2013.

At the launch of a new partnership to address a lack of ICT skills and the hundreds of thousands of unfilled ICT-related jobs, President Barroso stressed the job potential of the ICT sector for Europe. He reiterated that tackling high unemployment is the Commission's top priority.
A Grand Coalition for Digital Jobs was launched on Monday, 4 March 2013, following identification by the Commission's Digital Agenda for Europe of the lack of e-skills to pursue today's rapid technological changes. This new multi-stakeholder partnership has a mandate until 2015.
"Studies have also shown that ICT-related occupations are much more resistant to crisis than most other jobs. This clearly means that e-skills are definitely key in reducing the risk of unemployment including for senior workers. More and better qualified ICT practitioners, researchers, entrepreneurs, managers and users are needed and will increasingly be needed," said President Barroso in his speech at the launch and noted that the latest study shows that Europe faces up to 900,000 unfilled ICT jobs.

By Hans-Georg van Liempd. The function of the International Office has evolved over the past ten years. Increased responsibility is being placed on Senior International Officers (SIO) in the strive to internationalise our institutions. As Senior International Officers, we need to be able to adapt and evolve in response to this changing environment. We need to embrace change, and a more modern style of leadership.
In February 2013, thirty SIOs from Europe, the USA and various other regions gathered at the University of New Orleans for a full day of intense discussions on their leadership roles, providing some interesting insights. Invited presenter and strategic advisor at the University of Melbourne, Jacyl Shaw, gave a presentation on modern leadership in business, looking at how it could be translated for use in higher education institutions. Here are some of the main points he explored. Read more...

The programmes for the Changing the Learning Landscape workshops are now available online.
These free one-day events have been designed to support the effective adoption and use of learning technologies within universities and colleges offering HE. Changing the Learning Landscape (CLL) aims to bring about changes in approaches to technology in learning and teaching within institutions.
The HEA is running 12 free CLL workshops for academics and those working in development and support roles, running between March and May 2013 at venues across the country.
Eight of the workshops are discipline related and are designed to suit academic staff who would like to update or develop their learning technology experience. Four of the workshops are aimed at staff with curriculum and teaching development and professional support roles in institutions. CLL is a HEFCE funded project being run collaboratively between Jisc, the National Union of Students (NUS), the Association for Learning Technology (ALT), the Leadership Foundation for Higher Education and the HEA.
For more information please visit the CLL pages of the HEA website. The programmes can be found on each of the individual events pages.

Effective internationalisation in UK higher education is more than a set of activities; it serves the whole university community, contributing to a rewarding culture. Likewise, successful alumni engagement extends beyond fundraising and sees alumni contributing to a wide range of meaningful and innovative programmes which add value to the international efforts of their institutions.
Strategic affinity: engaging international alumni to support internationalisation, a new report from the Higher Education Academy (HEA), builds on existing work to examine the synergies between alumni relations and internationalisation (along with careers services and international recruitment), highlighting case studies of good practice and making recommendations for development activity.
Strategic affinity, written by Nik Miller, Head of Alumni Engagement at the University of York, includes case studies from UK higher education institutions in three categories: supporting academic development; promoting global employability and promoting international recruitment. Other case studies relate to the broader issues of understanding and nurturing the international alumni community. Read more...

Erasmus for all/YES Europe trialogue: EUCIS-LLL and the European Youth Forum calling Doris Pack to secure our main concerns
While trialogue discussions have started on the next funding programme for education, training, youth and sport, EUCIS-LLL together with the European Youth Forum sent a joint letter to MEP Doris Pack, Chairman of the CULT Committee, main rapporteur and negotiations leader on the future programme for the Parliament. A similar letter has also been sent to shadow rapporteurs and Julie Anderson, Irish Education Attachée and representing the Council in the negotiations. The letter calls to endorse key amendments reflecting our main concerns such as operational support for civil society organisations in education, training and youth, a specific chapter for the youth sector, more civil society involvement in the future programme and the recognition of volunteer time contribution as source of co-funding (recognised in Article 127 of the new EU’s Financial Regulation).  Julie Anderson declared during the last CULT Committee (20 February) that the Council’s modified Partial General Approach was including one third of the Parliament’s amendments. Next trialogue meeting is foreseen to take place on 19 March, if not earlier.

In spite of national and EU-level strategies on gender equality, European research still suffers from a considerable loss and inefficient use of highly skilled women. The annual increase in female researchers is less than half the annual number of female PhD graduates and too few women are in leadership positions or involved in decision-making. In 2005 the Council set a goal for women to be in 25% of leading public sector research positions, but in 2009 only 13% of the heads of higher education institutions were women. The integration of a gender dimension into the design, evaluation and implementation of research is also still too limited. The challenge is to improve on all these points to increase the quality and relevance of research. The Commission is already committed to ensure 40% of the under-represented sex in all its expert groups, panels and committees and will apply this particularly under Horizon 2020.
Encouraging gender diversity to foster science excellence and relevance.
