Budd Hall's blog

Dear Friends,

Just back from the India launch of the UNESCO Chair in CBR at Jamia Millia Islamia on December 10, 2012.  You can see photos from the launch at our newly launched web-site.  Our first blog posting on Knowledge for Peace can be found there as well.

Regards,

Friends,

Our news today is coming from Brest, from the meeting of the PASCAL International Observatory where Rajesh and Budd have both been invited to offer keynote remarks.  This is the first time that we have appeared at the same event since the UNESCO Chair has been established.  We are very grateful to the University of Western Brittany and Dr. Jean-Marie Filloque for inviting us and to PASCAL for making us feel welcome amongst them.

As you will remember, the "Big Tent" group of regional and international networks in community university engagement developed a communique during the Living Knowledge Conference in Bonn, Germany on May 14, 2012.  This document was sent to the Rio conference courtesy of Daniella Tilbury and the Copernicus Alliance.
