The Slovenian partner in the UNAOC Research Network will hold its 4th General Assembly and conference on TETIS (Towards Education and Technological approaches to Implement Sustainability), November 24-25, Lisbon, Portugal
Since the last General Assembly held in Ankara in November 2010, the EMUNI University has been very active in the Euro-Mediterranean region as well as the neighbouring countries, bringing on board several higher education institutions to share in the formulation of academy diplomacy, courses and University cooperation.
TETIS 2011 conference will open the opportunity to discuss present days issues related to sustainable development and life indicators at Higher Education Institutions:
- How to generate knowledge capacity building within our academic curricula? Can innovative research strength and link intercultural mobility programs? What is the role of university leaderships in developing academic programs to strength the intercultural dialogue?
- How to implement scientific research programs focused on sustainable development? Can those technological developments relate to the mission and core values at universities? What is the role of university leaderships in an environmental quality culture?
- How to establish sustainable development indicators? Can we “decouple” environmental issues from academic quality systems? What is the role of university leaderships in developing “green” economy indicators?
- How to create better life indicators within universities? Are universities sensitive to be involved in this debate? What role can they develop in this policy-making process?
