Welcome to the 21st  EECERA annual Conference organised by a consortium formed of Geneva and Lausanne Universities, two High professional Schools and local authorities from both cities.

The theme of the 2011 EECERA Conference is "Education from birth: research, practices and educational policy". This theme focuses on what practices exist for early education and what should be developed? What are the educational policies in this respect and what could be promoted? Research contributes to our knowledge about this complex reality and helps to define projects for the future.
