5th International Barcelona Conference on Higher Education “Higher Education’s Commitment to Sustainability: from Understanding to Action” The Global University Network for Innovation (GUNI) organizes the 5th International Barcelona Conference on Higher Education ’Higher Education’s Commitment to Sustainability: from Understanding to Action, to be held at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) in Barcelona on 23e26 November 2010. The 5th International Barcelona Conference on Higher Education is designed to deepen the conceptual definition of the lines of change in higher education to respond to the challenges of sustainability as well as to identify ways for action. Both facilitate the transition between existing and new educational scenarios consistent with the vision of the sustainability paradigm to move from understanding to action. The Conference offers a collective work dynamic and active participation. With this methodology, the Conference will include parallel working sessions in two areas: the first will be a dynamic space for exchanging experiences and good practices to analyze how the world regions are advancing with the introduction of sustainability; the second will be a work space where participants will discuss and propose ways of action that contribute to the transformation of higher education.
