Annual Report 2015, Budapest

For the 2015 meeting 59 submissions (Standard submissions + Long Papers) were received; 42 submissions were accepted (71%) This resulted in 20 time-slots. 

Several sessions were organized jointly with other networks.  It is worth mentioning that the symposium (organized with Network 9) "Educational goals and the PISA assessments" attracted around 50 delegates.

As always a conference dinner was organized; many colleagues attended.

Concern was raised during the Network meeting that the present reviewing (all convenors review all submissions) takes up too much time. After some discussion it was decided that Long Papers will be reviewed by two convenors; Standard submissions continue to be reviewed by all convenors.
