The Union for the Mediterranean supports higher education and research cooperation in the following ways:
1) It holds political forums that bring together ministers to discuss challenges and priorities in higher education and research, such as the need for increased student and researcher mobility.
2) It facilitates regional policy dialogues through platforms that convene stakeholders from universities, research centers, governments, and the private sector to address issues like internationalization and academic mobility.
3) It implements regional projects in areas like academic mobility, blue economy, and youth unemployment that receive over €160 million in funding.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

What main converging objectives for further action have emerged?
• To offer to young graduates new competences and means for transitioning as best as possible to the work environment, characterized by its openness to
innovation and mobility and its fast pace of changing.
• To close the gap between university/research world, the job market, entrepreneurship and the needs of territories.
• To enhance information flows between the different stakeholders (students, universities, private sector, municipalities, chambers of commerce…) by mobilizing
exchange platforms and organizing meetings aiming to increase the synergies, creating partnerships, strengthening networking and supporting multistakeholder
approach (enterprises, associations, ministries…) with the goal of bringing closer education to the job market needs.
• To facilitate knowledge transfer from research to business in the Mediterranean region.
• To use blue economy, bio-economy and circular economy as the newest triggers for economic growth, employment opportunities and new kinds of jobs through
applied research, training, mobility and awareness raising in innovative domains creating sustainable development.
