21st century societies are pervaded by technology in ways that change dramatically how people deal with information, knowledge management and social communication. But which specific competencies does the resulting economy require? How are today's education systems in OECD countries preparing learners for these 21st century skills and competencies?
These key issues are going to be discussed at the New Millennium Learners Conference, jointly organized by the OECD Centre for Educational Research and Innovation (CERI) and the Flemish Ministry of Education.

This one-day workshop, under the auspices of the OECD’s Working Party on Innovation and Technology Policy (TIP), will bring together academic experts and policy makers to address these questions and identify good practices for impact assessment.
