CHALLENGES FOR EUROPEAN UNIVERSITIES IN THE ERA OF GLOBALIZATION
“Today more than ever the world is only one. The interrelation of trends is so close that the mining crisis in Central Asia, the floods in South America or the war in Sub-Saharan Africa may influence our daily life. It may be because of a virus like Aids or a pandemic caused by prions; water pollution or the danger of nuclear proliferation; uncontrolled emigration or drug-trafficking, the fate of every man and woman – of any race, culture or religion – is inextricably linked to all inhabitants of the globe.”
Federico Mayor ZaragozaUNESCO General Director (1987-1999)
