This document discusses measuring the impact of higher education on social innovation. It notes that while impact has become a popular concept, universities have always aimed to serve society. Measuring impact is challenging as it involves both qualitative and quantitative factors. The workshop will discuss how higher education contributes to social innovation and how this is currently being measured and monitored within universities and their effects on society. The impact of universities is complex and involves things like research, teaching, culture, projects and generating trust.
This document contains the opening remarks from the Secretary General of the International Association of Universities (IAU) at the 6th Global Meeting of Associations. The Secretary General welcomed participants and thanked partners for hosting the event in Montreal. Originally planned for Accra, Ghana, the meeting was relocated due to Ebola and the theme was changed to "Social Innovation". Over the two-day event, participants will discuss the role of universities and associations in social innovation through case studies and panels on defining social innovation, measuring impact, and engaging stakeholders. The Secretary General emphasized that while technology is important, social problems require social solutions and universities are well-positioned to contribute through learning, research, and outreach.
This document discusses the incorporation of human rights and African Indigenous Knowledge Systems (AIKS) into higher education in Africa.

The document summarizes a citizens' agenda for science, technology and innovation organized by UDUAL and various Mexican universities and government institutions. It describes a national consultation process held in Mexico from 2012-2013 that allowed citizens to vote on and discuss 10 proposed challenges. The top 3 voted challenges were to modernize education, ensure clean drinking water, and improve environmental protection. Over 70 organizations participated in the initiative. Following the consultation, 10 volumes of analysis and solutions were published. A university contest was also held asking students to propose innovative projects addressing the 10 challenges. The overall goals were to increase citizen participation in science policy and promote social innovation.
Rémi Quirion, Chief Scientist of Québec, discusses social innovation and the future of higher education. As Chief Scientist, he advises the government on research strategy and chairs boards that fund intersectoral research on major societal challenges. The three Fonds de recherche du Québec support research, training, and knowledge mobilization. Examples of knowledge mobilization centers focus on social issues. The FRQ also supports innovative social practices through strategic clusters, research teams, and Actions concertées programs that foster co-creation with partners. Looking ahead, Quirion suggests increasing social innovation training and focusing research on challenges like demographic changes, the labor market, sustainability, and measuring social impact. Key will be
This document summarizes the findings of a global study on organizational structures that support community-university research partnerships (CURPs). The study included a global survey of 336 respondents from 53 countries as well as 12 case studies. Key findings include that most higher education institutions have created structures to support CURPs in the last 10 years, but there is still a large variation in how CURPs are conceptualized and practiced globally. National policies that explicitly include community engagement and research in higher education tend to encourage the institutionalization of CURPs. Specific funding programs and knowledge-sharing platforms at the national level also help strengthen CURPs. While many countries have made progress, true co-creation of knowledge and accountability to communities is still lacking in most partnerships.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
