As part of the 74th Annual Conference of the International Communication Association (ICA), ICA is seeking to promote the scholarship and participation of First Nations scholars in both the conference and the association as a whole. ICA is keen to engage First Nations scholars in debates around communication in general, and, when applicable, Global Human Rights at the 2024 conference. We recognize Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as the sovereign people of Australia, and the Yugumbeh people as the traditional custodians of the lands on which the ICA conference is to be held. We welcome the participation of other First Nations researchers of the Pacific region and elsewhere to participate in the conference, such as the Māori people of Aoteoroa (New Zealand). For the 2024 conference, the ICA will financially support the participation of up to ten First Nations scholars accepted to present at the conference, to cover travel to and accommodation on the Gold Coast, to a maximum of US $1,000 (AUD $1,600) per individual. One can propose a paper or panel that is applicable to the 2024 conference theme of Global Human Rights, or that relates to the call for papers from one or more of ICA's 33 Divisions and Interest Groups. Priority will be given to First Nations researchers from Australia in recognition of the Traditional Custodianship, by Aboriginal and Torres Straits Islander people, of the lands on which the conference is being held.

Last year was my first annual conference with COBIS and what a conference it was! Amazing speakers, great networking opportunities, fantastic supporting associates, and in-depth discussions around educational issues that really matter. We are going one step further this year - the words and ideas are great - but what is the action? We want to hear from you, what are you or your school doing which is making a difference? What are you doing which is "louder than words"? I can't wait to learn from all of the speakers and workshops! #alwayslearning

IT'S HERE, THE REPORT!

Supporting practical steps toward mutual recognition of professional services in the APEC region The importance of mutual recognition for advancing trade in professional services was recently recognised by APEC Ministers at their November meeting in San Francisco. They welcomed the completion of the Mutual Recognition Agreements Toolkit, in the context of APEC’s work on services in ”the pursuit of openness, balance, transparency, and inclusivity.” View the toolkit here: https://lnkd.in/gbC-8YB4 This is a welcome sign of the value of practical resources in supporting mutual recognition efforts. It also underscores the opportunity for practitioners and policy makers to mobilise resources like the APEC Mutual Recognition Agreements (MRA) Toolkit in taking practical steps toward effective MRAs and more open services trade. The MRA Toolkit provides practical guidance on the key issues and steps involved in developing mutual recognition arrangements (MRAs) for professional qualifications across the APEC region. It forms part of a broader APEC initiative of the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs, supported by the APEC Study Centre, to facilitate the mobility of professionals by increasing the knowledge and utilisation of MRAs across APEC economies.
