Programme :
In the global community of HRD professionals, the University Forum for Human Resource Development (UFHRD) and the Academy of Human Resource Development (AHRD) fulfill a key role in developing leading-edge HRD theories and practices through the international network of universities, individuals and organizations.



The theme of the 11th international conference is Human Resource Development in the Era of Global Mobility.
Global mobility of the workforce increased exponentially in the past decade and became a current phenomenon. This phenomenon is influenced by demographical forecasts that show evidence of extreme imbalances in the working age population around the globe and is facilitated by international treaties and labor policies that allow for an easier movement of people across borders. Scholars and practitioners have started to seek understanding of the issues related to global mobility and to address their challenges both at the individual, organizational and societal levels (talent development, brain circulation, global mindset, corporate social responsibility, corporate citizenship, global citizenship, etc.). The aim of this conference is to create a learning environment where researchers, academics and practitioners can deepen their understanding and explore the potentials of HRD in the era of global mobility.

Within the conference theme a number of streams have been identified to assist with the positioning of the contributions. Please find below the planned streams, however, if you feel that your contribution lies outside any of these areas but connected to the conference theme, your submission is still highly welcome.
