Print Print this Article | Send to Colleague


"For a Socially Responsible University" Universidad 2014, Cuba’s 9th International Congress on Higher Education, February 10-14, 2014

Every other year Cuba holds a conference that brings together representatives of all tertiary institutions in the country, including those affiliated with different ministries (Higher Education, Education, Agriculture, Health, and Culture). Like the NAFSA conference, it includes intellectual content, a "trade show" with informational booths and displays, and an unequaled opportunity for informal and spontaneous contacts. 

In 2012, the Cuba-U.S. People to People Partnership booth was visited by more than 100 representatives of national and regional universities, specialized offices, and the Minister of Higher Education and First Vice President, Miguel Diaz-Canel. We anticipate a similar opportunity in 2014 and welcome in-kind (via promotional materials) and in-person partnership with U.S. schools.

Proposed papers must be sent before November 15, 2013

Instructions| Primary topics | Specialized workshops and agendas | 10% airfare discount

You may request a post conference program of visits to Cuban universities wishing to partner with U.S. institutions as well as to service learning opportunities with the Fundacion Nunez Jimenez, a Cuban environmental NGO. 

To participate, please contact John McAuliff at jmcauliff@ffrd.org or 914-231-6270.
