The Sydney conference was the highlight of this period. The conference, opened by Gough Whitlam, former Prime Minister of Australia, did combine high quality scholarship with many opportunities for informally meeting each other, in Sydney as well as in Newcastle. Geoffrey Sherington and Craig Campbell from the University of Sydney, John Ramsland from the University of Newcastle, and all other members of the organising team deserve all possible congratulations and thanks for their great job.

Proposals for conferences after 2002 will be discussed next year. In 2000, the volume on the Kortrijk conference will appear, and the Sydney book is scheduled for January 2001. Many thanks for this very successful cooperation. The project is scheduled for the first half of next year. Main information on the history of education from all over the world will then be available on the Internet.
