Dear Colleague,
On behalf of the Forum Organising Committee, we would like to inform you of
the:
THIRD WORLD UNIVERSITIES FORUM
Davos, Switzerland
9-11 January 2010
http://UniversitiesForum.com
Inspired partly by the success of World Economic Forum in hosting global
conversations about emerging issues of economic policy, the World
Universities Forum (WUF) was created in 2008 in the belief that academe must
better engage today's most crucial questions, and that higher education
itself must be included as part of the wider discussion of global change.
The Forum encourages the participation of university executives,
administrators, scholars and research students, as well as journalists,
policy makers, business and political leaders, and others who understand
that the importance of the university extends well beyond campus. While WUF
encourages conversations about all aspects of higher education policy and
practice, the keynotes for the third WUF have been invited to consider
issues of the current global economic crisis and its implications for
universities.
Keynote speakers include:
* Professor Eva Egron-Polak (International Association of Universities,
France)
* Professor Jonathan Jansen (Rector, University of the Free State, South
Africa)
* Professor Simon Marginson (University of Melbourne, Australia)
* Professor Nigel Thrift (Vice Chancellor, University of Warwick, UK)
* Professor Pandhyala B.G. Tilak (National University of Educational
Planning & Administration, India)
In addition, the Forum will also include numerous paper, workshop and
colloquium presentations. We would particularly like to invite you to
respond to the Forum Call-for-Papers. Presenters may choose to submit
written papers for publication in the refereed Journal of the World
Universities Forum. If you are unable to attend the Forum in person, virtual
registrations are also available which allow you to submit a paper for
review and possible publication in the Journal, and provide access to the
online edition of the Journal.
Whether you are a virtual or in-person presenter at this Conference, we also
encourage you to present on the Conference YouTube Channel. Please select
the Online Sessions link on the Conference website for further details.
The deadline for the next round in the call for papers (a title and short
abstract) is 14 May 2009. Future deadlines will be announced on the Forum
website after this date. Proposals are reviewed within two weeks of
submission. Full details of the Forum, including an online proposal
submission form, may be found at the Forum website -

We look forward to receiving your proposal and hope you will be able to join
us in Davos in January 2010.
Yours Sincerely,
Professor Fazal Rizvi
