The university in Mexico in 2030

By John Moravec | 11/30/2007 | Filed under: General

I leave this weekend for Mexico City, where I will participate in the La Universidad en México en el año 2030: imaginando futuros conference at UAM-Cuajimalpa. I will present a paper (see draft submitted) based on my doctoral dissertation, and, with Arthur Harkins and Cristóbal Cobo, will also engage in discussions with academic, high tech/business, and government leaders on how we might be able to collaborate on new initiatives for innovation in education.

…and, the three of us will hold a reunion with Mexican students who participated in last summer’s “knowledge to innovation” co-seminar.
