The Secretary General concludes the meeting by thanking the participants for their rich and productive conversation. She notes they focused on challenges and solutions for higher education to increase social innovation, including recognition in academia and interdisciplinarity. While some viewed universities negatively, discussions highlighted positive examples like supportive research funders in Canada and universities creating innovation labs. The diversity of participants enriched the discussions by providing contextual insights. All agreed new problems require new solutions and a paradigm shift is needed in learning, research and community engagement to better address social issues through social innovation. The Secretary General thanks all involved in organizing the successful meeting.
Key Message: We need an open peer-to-peer network to connect the stakeholders (e.g. Bitcoin), create synergies from the dispersed resources (e.g. BOINC), and multiply the opportunities along the chain. We need the Open Source University of the future.

Aliki Giannakopoulou talks about responsoble research and innovation (RRI)
Responsible Research & Innovation (RRI) is a way of researching that takes a long-term perspective on the type of world in which we want to live. It can strengthen research projects by emphasising openness, transparency, diversity, inclusiveness and adaptation to changes. Essentially, RRI aims to create collaborative frameworks in which citizens engage with scientists, entrepreneurs, decisions makers and other groups to work towards sustainable, ethically acceptable and socially desirable outcomes.

Applying Human Rights Standards to Privatization of Education in UgandaPERIGlobal
Salima Namusobya works for the Initiative for Economic and Social Rights (ISER), a domestic NGO in Uganda which researches and advocates for the realisation of economic and social rights. ISER has been working on privatisation in education since August 2014.
In Uganda, about 80% of children attend private schools in the capital, Kampala. Across the country, private education is growing fast, including in low-income areas, where ‘low-cost’ private schools are mushrooming.
To better understand the situation, ISER conducted preliminary research in August 2014, involving interviews, a survey, literature review and statistical analysis. The aim of the research was to assess the situation against human rights principles, drawn from international law.
The results of this research have been discussed in workshops and presented in reports the African Commission on Human and People’s Rights and to the UN Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (CESCR).
In this presentation Salima presents the initial results of ISER’s research, and discuss the list of issues that the CESCR released, as well what the political and social impacts. I

For those who feel more than responsible and passionate for Corporate Learning.
In order to make the European economy more efficient and responsible, an initiative group involved in the HRM Expo has established an award that distinguishes ideas that have a pan-European effects and provide new approaches to corporate learning. With the “Leonardo - European Corporate Learning Award“ people are honoured who have initiated and put into practice “beacon projects“ for European education and have thus become benchmarks for other participants throughout Europe, in particular:
- through innovations in the field of “corporate learning”, whose impact extends to other firms and sectors (keywords: knowledge- and talent-management, knowledge partnerships, training and e-learning concepts, life-long learning)
- through services to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and intercultural cohesion in Europe, which serve as examples and have a broader impact, which contribute significantly towards growth and employment in the spirit of the “Europe 2020” Lisbon follow-up strategy.
In 2010, the first “Leonardo – European Corporate Learning Award” was awarded to Prof. Dr. Jacques Delors, former President of the European Commission, for his efforts to anchor the community goals of a European educational policy within the framework of the Maastricht treaties, the UNESCO proclamation for education in the 21st century: The treasures within "Learning to know, Learning to do, Learning to live together, Learning to be. Winner in 2011 was Jimmy Wales, Co-Founder of Wikipedia for brining the wisdom of crowds to centre-stage.
Since 2012 there have been three partly overlapping categories of the Leonardo Award, which is actually no coincidence. The award emphasizes the unique components of each of the award-winning education innovations, which are unified by the Leonardo's holistic spirit:
Leonardo – Thought Leadership
Leonardo - Company Transformation
Leonardo – Crossing Borders

In 2018, the SciELO Program will celebrate 20 years of operation, in full alignment with the advances of open science.
The SciELO 20 Years Conference will address and debate – during its three-day program – the main political, methodological and technological issues that define today’s state of the art in scholarly communication and the trends and innovations that is shaping the future of the universal openness of scholarly publishing and its relationship with today’s Open Access journals, in particular those of the SciELO Network.
The program of the conference is organized around the alignment of SciELO journals and operations with the best practices on communication of open science, such as publishing research data, expediting editorial processes and communication through the continuous publication of articles and the adoption of preprints, maximizing the transparency of research evaluation and the flow of scholarly communication, and searching for more comprehensive systems for assessing research, articles and journals.
A two-day meeting of the coordinators of the national collections of the SciELO Network will take place prior to the Conference with focus on the evaluation of SciELO journals and the SciELO Program and their improvement following the lines of action that will guide their development in the forthcoming five years.
The celebration of SciELO’s 20-year anniversary constitutes an important landmark in SciELO’s evolution, and an exceptional moment to promote the advancement of an inclusive, global approach to scholarly communication and to the open access movement while respecting the diversities of thematic and geographic areas, as well as of languages of scientific research.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

In Odoo, the multi-company feature allows you to manage multiple companies within a single Odoo database instance. Each company can have its own configurations while still sharing common resources such as products, customers, and suppliers.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Conclusion
Notes for presentation by IAU Secretary General, Eva Egron-Polak
I hope that I speak on behalf of our partners and colleagues as well as the leadership of the IAU,
when I say that we have had a very rich and enjoyable and I hope productive conversation.
The GMA’s are not designed as traditional conferences; they are small and though we invite experts
and university leaders, we organize them for sharing and mutual learning - it is not expected that
someone can provide us with the answer to our questions. Rather, we go home with several possible
answers, some knowledge of examples that have been tested and developed elsewhere, a head full of
new ideas, and our hearts full of new thoughts.
I am very happy that these two days, we focused almost equally on the diagnostic of the challenges
that needed to be overcome for higher education to increase its role in social innovation, - recognition
in academe, challenges of inter-disciplinarity, the need to learn more about how best to work with
actors, partners and stakeholders in the broader civil society, so some of the challenges but also many
of the successful and innovative initiatives that you have undertaken or that you have seen developed
in your institutions.
At times we were slipping in to the all or almost all negative view of the current university world, but
the discussion almost always brought some balance and a light at the end of a tunnel. The fact that
research funders are supportive in Canada, that LA universities are creating Labs, that we are all
calling for a greater voice given to students and to the learning experiences that students gain when
they can work and learn with community actors.
As I expected and underlined in the beginning of our meeting – we have been enriched by the
diversity of the participants – we learned from each intervention about some contextual issue that
needed to be considered when developing social innovation actions – whether it was with regard to
the level of trust enjoyed by universities, or the level of capacity to engage on the part of
communities, or the extent to which agencies that support research or international development are
ready to give priority to social innovation and the co-development of innovation and research.
Clearly, we all agreed and several speakers stressed this point – we must solve old problems with
new solutions. This is not a new realization – I never met Einstein but he is often quoted as saying,
"We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them."
This general consensus allowed us, I believe, to agree as well, that to address this reality, means and
requires a paradigmatic shift in the way we conceive learning, research and our third mission. While
some of you feel that this requires a new culture of what I would call social responsibility, social

engagement, and a variety of actions that can fall under the broad umbrella concept of social
innovation.
I think we were challenged and challenged ourselves, to remain analytical, self-critical of trends and
developments including our view of where and how knowledge is created. Most importantly, we
were inspired to be respectful and to listen – to people from other cultures, from other social
institutions, from other linguistic groups and traditions and to ensure that rather than divorcing and
building silos; we find ways to marry and build bridges.
Let’s make sure we do that in our day to day personal and professional lives.
Let me end this event with some important words of thanks.
First thank you for being with us and sharing your insights and knowledge with us.
Thank you to the interpreters whom we never saw but who allowed us to understand one another and
to speak.
I would also like to thank the members of the Programme Committee who represented our partner
organizations, starting with M. Guy Lefebvre, Vice-recteur aux Relations internationales et a la
Francophonie; M. Claude Bedard, Directeur général du Bureau de cooperation inter-universitaire; et
Mme Patricia Gudiño, la Secrétaire générale de l’OUI.
Special thanks go to Mrs Rachida Azdouz, Conseillère principale en développement stratégique, dans
le Bureau des relations internationales de l’Université de Montréal.
But let me also thank my own colleagues, starting with Élodie Boisfer, Trine Jensen, Isabelle
Turmaine and Hilligje van’t Land for their hard work in all the different areas that are all needed for
this kind of meeting to succeed.
Their hard work and excellent support is much appreciated.
