The 2012 World Universities Forum (WUF) will be held at the University of the Aegean, Rhodes, Greece from 8 to 10 January. This year’s WUF will be held in Greece thanks to the generosity and collaborative spirit of the conference host, the University of the Aegean, School of Humanities.

Inspired by the success of the World Economic Forum held each year in Davos, the World Universities Forum has developed into a key site for academic discussion on the current state and future possibilities of the university. The WUF has throughout the years welcomed delegates from dozens of countries around the world, numerous academic disciplines, and a range of professional areas including research, university administration, business, and policy-making. Now in its fifth year, the World Universities Forum maintains its commitment to a broad examination of the university, and invites paper proposals on a range of relevant topics.

However, given the dramatic impact of financial and political crises around world, the 2012 WUF will focus significantly on the ways in which these crises are bringing about major changes in the university itself, as well as in its relation to the society. It aspires to initiate a discussion on how we might engage this challenge in constructive ways, critically addressing long-dominant models of the university and considering new possibilities for its future. This focus is reflected accordingly, in the special theme: “Reinventing the University in a Time of Crisis.”

The WUF welcomes distinguished plenary speakers, all of whom will share their particular insights on this special theme, including:

Ronald Barnett, Professor, Institute of Education, University of London, United Kingdom
Fatma Gök, Professor and Chair, Educational Sciences Department, Bogaziçi University, Turkey
Barbara M. Kehm, Professor of Higher Education Research and Head, International Center for Higher Education Research, University of Kassel, Germany
António Nóvoa, Rector, University of Lisbon, Portugal
Marianna Papastefanou, Professor, Department of Education, University of Cyprus

Artificial Intelligence is perhaps unique among engineering subjects in that it has raised very basic questions about the nature of computing, perception, reasoning, learning, language, action, interaction, consciousness, humankind, life etc. etc. – and at the same time it has contributed substantially to answering these questions (in fact, it is sometimes seen as a form of empirical research). There is thus a substantial tradition of work, both on AI by philosophers and of theory within AI itself.

The theory and philosophy of artificial intelligence has come to a crucial point where the agenda for the forthcoming years is in the air – this conference will try to set that agenda and to gather many of the key players.

Invited Keynote Speakers

Thessaloniki, Greece

This Annual International Conference is an established platform in which security, safety and sustainability issues can be examined from several global perspectives through dialogue between academics, students, & government representatives.

In an era of unprecedented volatile, political and economic environment across the world, computer based systems face ever more increasing challenges, disputes and responsibilities. Their role in facilitating secure economic transactions and maintaining steady and reliable sources of information that support politically stable and sustainable socio-economic systems is becoming increasingly critical. Under such spectrum of issues, the organizers proceed with the joint hosting of the 7th International Conference on Global Security, Safety and Sustainability and the 4th Conference on e-Democracy.

The University of Macedonia as host joins forces with the University of East London and the Scientific Council for Information Society of Greece to bring together their experiences in gathering the scientific and professional bodies behind the two conferences in a single event for the first time in their history in Thessaloniki, Greece in 2011.

It is the belief of the joint programme committee that the coverage of a wider spectrum of related topics will provide an enhanced incentive for academic debate and sharply focused critical evaluation of results of innovative applications of methodologies and applied technologies presented.
