Bemerkung:

Gutes Ex. - Englisch. - Von Willi Bolle SIGNIERT u. m. kurzer Widmung an Eberhard Lämmert. - Although the ideal number would have been ten rectors (including a representative from Africa), eventually nine rectors from all the other continents met for two days at the Universidade de Sao Paulo in March 2001 to debate the main challenges faced by the University in the new century. The five topics discussed here are of interest both for specialists in these fields, and for anyone who would like to get an overview of the University's problems today, A circumstantial change in the event's order of issues showed us how strongly they are all linked together, something which will now allow the reader to go through the book according to his personal preferences. Starting, for instance, with Population, Technology and the University, we face the basic reflection; For whom does the University exist? Does it really serve the whole population? Questions which may be unimportant in countries like Australia or the U.S., and perhaps Portugal, but certainly not in Turkey, Mexico, Colombia or Brazil.
