Dear Sir / Madam,

From 5 to 7 July, 2007, the Second International Conference “World in Transition – Sustainability Perspectives for Higher Education” will be held in San Luis Potosί, Mexico. The UNESCO Chair for Higher Education for Sustainable Development, in cooperation with the Universidad Autónoma de San Luis Potosí, Mexico, would like to invite representatives of institutions that are committed to integrating sustainable development into higher education to a lively experts’ exchange on aspects related to implementing sustainable development into teaching and learning at higher education institutions.

During the conference, four workshops will inquire into “Higher Education for Sustainable Global Change – Interpretation & Realisation”, “Defining and Reorienting Competencies for Sustainable Global Change”, “Global Networks & Local Partnerships – Connecting Stakeholders” as well as “Sustainable Universities and Participation“. Room will also be given to exchange good examples of international cooperation in the field of higher education for sustainable development.

For detailed information, please have a look at the attached documents. You are encouraged to forward this message to people you consider potentially interested.

I am looking forward to your responses and remain with my best wishes.

On behalf of the organisers,

Prof. Dr. Gerd Michelsen
