14. Where to go from here ?

15. Where to go from here ? • Consolidation of similar module content

16. Where to go from here ? • Consolidation of similar module content that may lead to:

17. Where to go from here ? • Consolidation of similar module content that may lead to: Inter-university mutual recognition of Common Core Subjects upon which courses or Inter university competitions can be set up and facilitated by the CEEC

18. Where to go from here ? • Consolidation of similar module content that may lead to: Greater cross germination of ideas that Inter University research requires anyway - that again could be facilitated by CEEC involvement or association

19. Where to go from here ? • Consolidation of similar module content that may lead to: Opportunity for greater participation as CEEC speakers at Conference events due to the knowledge and transparency of the CEEC agreed fundamental module criteria and content

20. Where to go from here ? • Exploration of the creation of a Joint International Educational Programme & Inter-university qualification:

21. Where to go from here ? • Exploration of the creation of an Joint International Educational Programme & Inter-university qualification: • Builds on the differences between the participating University Associated Course contents with a view to creating links to alternative international module options

22. Where to go from here ? • Exploration of the creation of an Joint International Educational Programme & Inter-university qualification: European Diploma in International Construction Economics

23. Where to go from here ? • Exploration of the creation of an Joint International Educational Programme & Inter-university qualification: European Diploma in International Construction Economics

24. European Diploma in International Construction Economics

25. European Diploma in International Construction Economics

26. Where to go from here ? • Exploration of the creation of an Joint International Educational Programme & Inter-university qualification: • Creates an appreciation of the differences in module demands within each participating country as well as to broaden our scope and horizon and thus increase the demand / opportunity of the discipline

27. Where to go from here ? • Exploration of the creation of an Joint International Educational Programme & Inter-university qualification: • To eventually narrow the differences of professional competence required and enable easier graduate movement across the EU / World.
