On the 16^th of September, 2016, Centre for Cultural Sociology and Anthropology of Education, Institute of Education, organizes the first international conference "Trajectories and Educational Choice: Research on "Trajectories in Education and Careers” (TrEC)". The conference is aimed at collaboration of scholars with research interests in education, labour market, life course studies.

The conference participants are the researchers from HSE and international partners of the project, who work with the TrEC longitudianl data and will present the results of their studies. Conference papers will be dedicated to different stages and aspects of young people’s educational and occupational trajectories, including tracking after the 9^th grade, university or a vocational education institution admission, additional education etc.

TrEC includes several panels (the same individuals participate in the survey for several years). The most informative one is the national panel based on the representative All-Russian sample of TIMSS-2011. TrEC data-bases are available for researchers and analysts after sending an online application and signing the data-use agreement.

We invite everyone who is interested in education research, life course and longitudinal studies to take part in the conference sessions and discussions.
