Subject: FUTURE  OF  HIGHER  EDUCATION  AND  LEARNING  ELECTRONIC  WORKSHOP  14 APRIL - 09 MAY 1997


 IAS-CR4 on mailto:listserv@ias.unu.edu   Future of Higher Education and Learning


 The purpose of the IAS-CR4 electronic workshop is to explore and
articulate visions of future higher education and learning through
extensive discussions involving all kinds of actors from both academic and
non-academic institutions. Academic institutions are increasingly under
pressure to develop new modes of research and training that are better
suited to addressing pressing global and regional problems. (There are  also
many local problems that should be addressed through a global  perspective.)


This pressure has led to calls for expanding and strengthening
interdisciplinary research and training programmes, academic cooperation
that transcends national boundaries, and creation of networks that link
various academic and non-academic institutions. Furthermore, dramatic
improvement in telematics technology (such as Internet, teleconferencing and
videoconferencing) and its growing accessibility provide unprecedented
opportunities for achieving these ends. 


In an effort to create new visions of future higher education and learning
and to explore the best possible ways of achieving them, the Institute of
Advanced Studies, United Nations University (UNU/IAS) invites you to join
our electronic workshop and actively participate in this worldwide
brainstorming session. 


UNU/IAS welcomes your ideas and views concerning  different practices and
new approaches to developing interdisciplinary, transnational and
network-oriented research and training, effective  methods of applying
telematics technology, and how it is possible to  improve 
        (1) advanced studies, 
        (2) capacity-building, 
        (3) access to higher  education by people from disadvantaged
educational background,         (4)  international cooperation, and (5)
lifelong learning.


 Date:   14 April - 9 May 1997
