UFHRD 2013: 5th to 7th June 2013
We think it is important to examine HRD in the context of continued global economic uncertainty and volatility. The implications of this global economic climate for researchers, practitioners, and both private and public sector organisations will be examined.
The chosen theme, HRD in Turbulent Seas - Continued Global Economic Uncertainty: Challenges and Opportunities, reflects the location of the conference – Brighton, a popular seaside town - and the anticipation of continued global economic volatility and turbulence. It also reflects the forecasted general global slowdown in growth - including within the BRIC countries and economic stagnation and an increasing probability of a return to recession in key countries such as the US, the UK and Japan.
