The Conference in Dublin represented a further confirmation for the Network. The project of starting a network with clear foci of research interest, and of establishing a meeting point for encounters among sociologies of education was realized. The network offers now high quality selection of paper contribution as well as good quality of discussion and confrontation among peers.
The Network decided to launch a call for paper 'Inside/Outside the Brussels Bubble: Multiple Enactment of the Europeanization of Education' that attracted seven sessions. Joint activities were organized with Network 23. Here, the quality of the participation confirmed promising collaborations and possible projects to develop in the future.
The Network has succesfully realized the second edition of the Summer School in Sociologies of Education at the University of Napoli 'Federico II' (SUSEES): a MOOC included videos, texts, materials from the offline course on the EMMA MOOC <link https: platform.europeanmoocs.eu _blank>platform.
Finally, the book of the Routledge serie 'Shaping the European Education' was finally published (Eds: Romuald Normand & Jean Louis Derouet).
