Date: 9-11 January 2009
Venue: Davos, Switzerland

The World Universities Forum was created in the belief that academe must better engage today's most crucial questions, and that higher education itself must be included as part of the wider discussion of global change.  The Forum encourages the participation of university executives, administrators, scholars and research students, as well as journalists, policy makers, business and political leaders, and others who understand that the importance of the university extends well beyond campus.

As well as impressive international line-up of main speakers, the Forum will also include numerous paper, workshop and colloquium presentations by practitioners, teachers and researchers. We would particularly like to invite you to respond to the Forum Call-for-Papers. Presenters may choose to submit written papers for publication in the fully refereed World Universities Forum Journal. If you are unable to attend the Forum in person, virtual registrations are also available which allow you to submit a paper for refereeing and possible publication in this fully refereed academic Journal, as well as access to the electronic version of the Journal.

Whether you are a virtual or in-person presenter at this Forum, we also encourage you to present on the Forum YouTube Channel. Please select the Online Sessions link on the Forum website for further details.

The deadline for the next round in the Call-for-Papers (a title and short abstract) is 12 March 2009. Proposals are reviewed within two weeks of submission.
