THE WANDERSTUDENT 2000
20-21 OCTOBER 2000, LEUVEN
http://www.europace.be/wanderstudent2000
"The wanderstudent of 1425 revived in virtual reality
in 2000? Towards a
European Virtual University"
International colloquium, organised by EuroPACE in the framework
of the 575th
anniversary celebrations of Katholieke Universiteit Leuven.
*****DEADLINE FOR ABSTRACTS IS 31st OF JULY !! *****
We are happy to announce that we already received a substantial
number of
abstracts. Authors intending to submit an abstract are invited
to do so
before 31st of July.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Theme and Structure of the Conference:
Will the student of the new millennium wander again from university
to
university, but then virtually? Will every university become a
regional node
within a European global web? Is the European Virtual University
under
construction? Are the United States far ahead of us? Will developing
countries get equal access to learning and knowledge?
The main goals of the conference will be to provide an answer
to questions such as
- How will universities of the new millennium exploit optimally
the potential
of ICT and international networking for an improvement of the
educational
quality, an enrichment of their learning offer, and an enhancement
of
international exchange and mobility?
- How can ICT and international networking improve cost efficiency?
- Will universities have to establish strategic alliances in order
to be
competitive on a global market?
- How can ICT-based international networking be used in partnership
with
industry and government to develop new demand based learning activities
and services?
- How can ICT-based international networking be used to provide
equal access
to learning for all continents of the world, and for all groups
of society?
This colloquium is targeted to all those who are interested
in the impact of
ICT and networking upon the future of higher education: policy
makers,
teachers, students, managers ...

ATTACHMENT II
Date: Fri, 26 Mar 1999 23:05:27 +0200
Subject: Triennial IAUP 1999
To: utsumi@columbia.edu
From: rudi.knoops@avd.kuleuven.ac.be (Rudi Knoops)
Dear Dr. Utsumi,
The K.U.Leuven Audiovisual Service has been asked by the International
Association of University Presidents (IAUP) to produce a video
programme
for the opening session of their forthcoming Triennial Conference
(Brussels, 11-14 July 1999). The theme of this year's conference
is
'Touchstones for a modern university culture'. The objective is
to assess
the extent to which universities are adapting the university culture
to
the demands and challenges of modern times, through a number of
key topics
or 'touchstones'.
In this video programme we would like to include statements
by several
authorities on some of the topics to be discussed at the conference.
We sincerely hope you would be willing to participate in our
programme,
more specifically with a statement on the topic of Educational
Technology
in the context of 'Globalisation in Universities'. As the future
of higher
education is a crucial issue, your contribution would be of great
interest
to the participants in the conference.
We only ask you to prepare a short (30 seconds 1 minute) statement
on
the part universities play or should play in this particular field,
to be
delivered on-camera. A camera crew will visit you at your convenience
between 15 April - 31 May 1999. The statement can be delivered
in English
or in another language. In that case an English translation would
be appreciated.
We sincerely thank you for considering our request,
Rudi Knoops
producer
