Call for Abstracts

Dear Colleagues,

We are happy to announce that the Website of the 8^th Conference of the International Test Commission to be held from 3-5 July, 2012, in Amsterdam now is open! We invite you to submit your proposals through www.itc2012ams.com. The closing deadline for proposals is December 15, 2011, with notification to authors by February 15, 2012 and Closing early bird registration on April 15, 2012.

The 8th ITC Conference in Amsterdam takes place 10 years after the ITC Winchester conference and is a revisit of the Winchester conference topic. After 10 years we will return to the theme of  Modern Advances in Assessment, with a particular focus on Digital Technology. In the last 10 years, technology has rapidly moved forward and has permanently affected Testing. The subthemes of the conference are:

• Testing and digital technology
• International testing and testing in heterogeneous populations
• Developments in theory of testing
• Professionalization, guidelines, and training in testing
• Testing, policy and ethics issues.

The conference wants to offer the 2012-state of this art and an outlook to the future.

The summer of 2012 will be the summer of several important conferences, among which the large International Congress of Psychology in Cape Town, South Africa (20-27 July, 2012). The Olympics in London are held from 27 July – 12 August, 2012. Make your plans and start off with the 8th ITC conference in Amsterdam from 3-5 July (or with the pre-conference workshops on 2 July), either as presenter or as participant!

We look forward to meeting you in Amsterdam in 2012.

Prof. Marise Ph. Born and Dr Arne Evers, Co-Chairs of the Organizing Committee
