	5th International Barcelona Conference on Higher Education Higher Education's Commitment to Sustainability: from Understanding to Action	Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) 23 - 25 November 2010

Welcome

Welcome to the website of the 5th International Barcelona Conference on Higher Education that will take place at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, in Barcelona, from 23 to 25 November 2010.

UNESCO has considered the Conference as a follow-up event of the World Conference on Higher Education (Paris, 2009). 

 All the participants at the Conference will receive the next GUNI Report Higher Education in the World 4 'Higher Education's Commitment to Sustainability:from Understanding to Action' (to be edited in 2011)

GUNI joins the work on the contribution of higher education to sustainability currently being carried out by international agencies, special programmes of the United Nations, networks and institutions of higher education in the world with the conviction that the greatest challenge of higher education in next decades consists in putting the knowledge at the service of social transformation, a process which at present means moving toward sustainability.

The Conference offers a collective work and active participation. It will include working sessions to analyze how the world regions are advancing on the issue, using examples and good practices. It also will be a work space where participants will discuss and propose specific ways of action to move forward application.
