Abstract	The main aim of AGORA THESSALONIKIS is to create a forum for open, multilateral discussion in order to provide technical and scientific support for the decisions and negotiations on vocational training which involve the various partners within the European framework. CEDEFOP is called upon to act as an interface between research, policies and practice in order to provide the Commission, the social and governmental partners with a clearer understanding of changes coming out in vocational training within the EU countries, thus putting them into a better position to take decisions.... The theme of the seminar was "The rise in the level of diplomas across the labour market: past lessons and future questions". The introduction to the seminar was based on the results of a CEDEFOP study on six EU countries ... . According to the results of this research, in spite of a general increase in the number of diplomas awarded over the last few decades, their distribution inside the labour market has tended to be driven by what education systems have supplied rather than by what companies have demanded. On the basis of these findings the idea was to organise a discussion which would bring together researchers, political representatives and the social partners around these questions. This discussion developed from an introductory memo "Diplomas and the labour market: results and questions stemming from European research". Other experts gave their opinions on the questions from different research angles. Their presentations are also included in this brochure: Christoph F. Buechtermann: Shift in skill demand; Hillary Steedman: Diplomas versus skills and Luigi Frey: Implications for the training strategies. The last chapter of this booklet, "Diplomas and the labour market: the debate so far", aims at summing up the discussions which took place during the sessions of the seminar. (DIPF/orig.).
