A special feature of the 2006 ABCDE Conference was a half-day Policy Workshop "Education and Global Development". This workshop discussed the main education policy challenges under conditions of globalization and growing role of the knowledge economy.

As education is a key development factor for countries and regions across the world and very important in the context of globalization, the conclusions of the Workshop could be a helpful contribution to Russia's G8 2006 agenda.
