In: Position papers from colloquium participants. Global Colloquium of University Presidents, New York University, November 28-29, 2007
... 'NYU will host some 50 university presidents and faculty experts who have been brought together under the auspices of the United Nations Secretary-General for a two-day Global Colloquium of University Presidents. United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon will deliver opening remarks, and Professor Michael Oppenheimer of Princeton University, a renowned expert in climate change, will deliver the keynote address: “The Post-Kyoto Challenge: Can Policy Catch Up with Science?”
This is the third annual Global Colloquium. Each conference - which, other than the keynote, is closed to the public and media - explores two issues: universities and their role in society, and a specific public policy challenge. This year, the university presidents and their accompanying faculty experts will discuss “The Role of Universities in Relation to Climate Change” and “Setting the Post-Kyoto Agenda for Climate Policy.”
The Global Colloquium is a growing network of international university presidents who contribute through research and teaching and other activities to the solution of global public policy problems, in the hope of generating useful discussion and frank advice that will assist the Secretary-General and the United Nations.' ....(text: nyu.edu)
