DAYS OF UNIVERSALITY

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

This concept was to provide the academic research, development and teaching program for a whole series of new International Universities, which also in part were still to be launched in the framework of this convention.

Under the auspices of these newly created International Universities then an institute was to be founded, which integrates the teaching contents of these universities and should receive the task of presenting and offering this universal curriculum to the conventional universities of the world.

The invited guests were hand-picked and no newcomers in regard to the aspect of universality. All of them, without exception, had taken a close look to that aspect of “universality” for quite some time already – the aspect from which the university carries its name – and in this respect they were well prepared for this meeting.

From the ranks of these active friends and supporters of that idea “Universal University of the Future” already a variety of organizations had evolved during the last years – from universities, academies, centers, foundations, councils, associations, societies up to many forums, which now spread this idea.
And so quite often the active members presented themselves already on behalf of these organizations and forums of theirs and asked the questions they had already prepared for this meeting – not rarely also in the name of their friends at home.

However, only after this first meeting DAYS OF UNIVERSALITY in the NÜRNBERGER MEISTERSINGERHALLE the discussion about the UNIVERSAL UNIVERSITY OF THE FUTURE caught “real fire”. And so in the course of the year, more and more new arguments were raised and compiled by small groups, particularly also in closed internet forums, what finally let the debate grow to the present form of the INTRODUCTION of the UNIVERSITY OF THE FUTURE – by now a quite remarkable critical work about academic education.
