University Values – University Integrity“ 21st INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON HIGHER EDUCATION (ICHE) „University Values – University Integrity“ August 26–28, 2010 Trier, Germany Palace of the Electoral Prince (Kurfürstliches Palais) Place of the opening session of the conference In the background the Roman Basilica The conference jointly is organised by the University of Trier and the International Conference on Higher Education (ICHE) See the program of the conference on pages 11–13 2 Welcome of the President of the University of Trier As host of the 21st International Conference on Higher Education (ICHE) I am pleased to welcome all of you in Germany’s oldest city and its university. We are proud to bring together heads of universities, scholars and researchers from so many parts of the world to exchange their views on „University Values – University Integrity“, an actual, interesting and alarming topic. When I heard for the first time the title of the confere nce I was full of sympathy to have this conference here in Trier. Yes, misuse of university values from inside and outside threaten university integrity. I welcome the variety of contibutions to identify the problem and the recommendations how higher education institutions can meet and overcome critical situations in this context. Trier and its university situated very near the border of Luxemburg, France and Bel- gium is an excellent place in Europe to discuss proble ms of higher education under international perspectives. The many foreign students and scholars of our university, the many international research centers express a spirit of openmindedness and in- ternationalism. This year the university celebrates its 40th anniversary (1970–2010), not to mention the 325 years of the old university in Trier (1473–1798). I am optimistic that the con- ference in Trier will be successful. The latin words in the seal of the university give reason for this optimism: „Treveris ex urbe deus complet dona sophiae“ (In the city of Trier god fulfils the donations of wisdom). I wish the conference all the best and the participants good days in this lovely old city with its modern university. Prof. Dr. Peter Schwenkmezger 3 Welcome of the President of the International Conference on Higher Education (ICHE) On behalf of the Steering Committee of the Internatio- nal Conference on Higher Education (ICHE) I welcome all participants of the 21st International Conference on Higher Education in Trier. During our last conference in Bangi/Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia, a country where the Malay majority lives together with a strong Chinese and Indian minority, we intensively discussed „The Role of the University in Bridging Civilizations“ intending to promote understanding amongst different civilizations. This year in Trier we will analyse the elements that undermine university values like institutional autonomy, academic freedom and independence of teaching and re- search. „University Integrity“ is in the center of the presentations and discussions. Integrity can be undermined by both external and internal elements. Pressure from political authorities or economic enterprises may hinder objective research or ma- nipulate unwelcome results. Academics may, for their personal profit, allow them- selves to be corrupted. Such misusses happen. We want to exchange views about how institutions of higher education handle or meet these abuses or even foster them. We expect presentations on how university integrity has been violated and/or uni- versity values saved. May the conference contribute to better university governance in defending university values and integrity. Ignaz Bender Chancellor em. of the University of Trier 4 Ihsan Dogramaci (1915–2010) Founder of the International Conference on Higher Education (ICHE) Homage On February 25, 2010, the founder of the International Conference on Higher Education (ICHE), Professor Ihsan Dogramaci, passed away. He, an international higher education personality, based in Turkey, was born in Erbil (modern day Iraq), studied medicine and became an oustanding professor of paediatrics at the University of Ankara, at the Hacettepe University Ankara and a visiting professor at the University of Paris. He was Rector of Ankara University and Hacettepe University Ankara. He founded Bilkent University in Ankara, the first private university of Turkey (Bilkent = city of science). For over ten years he was President of the Council of Higher Education of Turkey. Ihsan Dogramaci was member of the German „Akademie der Naturforscher Leopol- dina“, fellow of Royal College of Physicians, London, membre correspondant de L’Aca- demie Nationale de Medicine, Paris, member of the American Academy of Pediatrics, member of the Indian National Academy of Sciences and others. He was Honorary Member of the World Health Organisation (WHO). He received 25 honorary doctorates. The doctorate of the University of Rome „La Sapienza“ he received together with Pope John Paul II. Ihsan Dogramaci initiated a university reform in Turkey. To compare intentions and re- sults with the outside world he invitedunive rsity representatives from all over the world. This was the founding hour of the International Conference on Higher Education (ICHE). He was a passionate participant of most of the conferences held in America, Europe and Asia. As fluent speaker of English, French, German, Arabic, Persian and other languages including Swiss dialects he stimulated every conversation. His higher education experience, his knowledge of most of the university systems in the world were the basis of his lucid presentations and comments during the conferences. The hours with him, the generosity when hosting the conference in Ankara are unfor- gettable. ICHE recognised Ihsan Dogramaci as „Outstanding International Higher Edu- cation Personality“. ICHE will continue in his spirit. Ignaz Bender President of ICHE 5 What is I.C.H.E.? The International Conference on Higher Education (ICHE) is a meeting of minds on significant issues in higher education, primarily university governanace. It assembles experts in higher education (heads/administrators of higher education institutions, scholars, resarchers) and representatives of interested organisations and foundati- ons. The conference is international. Participants come from all corners of the world, in- cluding North and Latin America, West und Eastern Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia. The conference is independant; not linked to any national or international organi- sation. It is a free forum of minds for the exchange of opinions or experiences, views, new trends in higher education. The conference is in particular devoted to improving university governance. The po- litical changes in many parts of the world have created more opportunities for the development of autonomous and effective university systems. Many higher educa- tion institutions, in particular in new democracies, need consultation and support. Does the conference have any effect ? Two examples may demonstrate this. When the conference met 1998 in Qingdao / P.R. of China and debated the topic „De- mand and Supply of Higher Education in a Market Economy“ we insisted that the Chinese government itself gives the answer how to realize a market economy with too few higher educated people. We heard from an official Chinese representative that China has not enough universities (one hundred more were needed) to teach students and therefore needs the support from abroad. One year later during the Education Congress in the People’s Congress Hall in Beijing State President of China Jiang Zeming repeated in his speech essential parts óf what we had heard on our conference one year earlier. The result was that China opened its borders for stu- dents to study abroad. Today 700.00 Chinese students frequent foreign universities. A second example: the Islamic World Academy of Sciences has informed ICHE that ICHE conference participants have in their Islamic countries started a process to give more attention and financial support to education, higher education and re- search. The Malaysian government for example gave each of the four best univer- sities in the country one billion US-Dollar to be more competitive in the international unive rsity world.

  • Finally! German Church Records and How to Use Them on Familysearch Trish Tolley Melander, AG Rootstech 2019
    Finally! German Church Records and How to Use Them on FamilySearch Trish Tolley Melander, AG RootsTech 2019 Catholic Church Records FamilySearch has published several collections to date of indexed German Catholic Church records using images from historical microfilm created by FamilySearch. These collections contain baptisms, marriages, and burials. The range of parishes included in the collections were selected geographically and are organized geographically as well. These include indexed collections such as: ◦ Germany, Baden, Archdiocese of Freiburg im Breisgau, Catholic Church Records, 1678–1930 ◦ Germany, Diocese of Augsburg, Catholic Church Records, 1615–1939 ◦ Germany, Rhineland, Diocese of Trier, Catholic Church Records, 1704–1957 Protestant Church Records In late 2018, FamilySearch published almost 80 million indexed records from various German Evangelische and Reformiert parishes. The bulk of these records are found in the FamilySearch collection called “Germany, Lutheran Baptisms, Marriages and Burials, 1500–1971” (https://www. familysearch.org/search/collection/3015626). This collection will provide record hints delivered to the Tree for users to review and attach. The purpose of this collection to help grow the trees by building families of those with German ancestors. Some of the records come from “Kirchenbuchduplikat,” or church book duplicates, which are the copy of the records sent to the government by the parish, and are usually organized by event and year, as opposed to more extensive volumes covering several decades at a time. There is no difference in the contents of each record between the church copy and the church book duplicate, just a difference in where FamilySearch obtained the microfilm image. This background information covers the Germany, Lutheran Baptisms, Marriages, and Burials collection: • This project was a joint collaboration with Ancestry.com, and the work was started in 2014.

  • General and Bilateral Brief-Rhineland-Palatinate 3.Pdf
    Page 1 of 7 Consulate General of India Frankfurt *** General and Bilateral Brief-Rhineland-Palatinate / India Rhineland-Palatinate (German: Rheinland-Pfalz, RLP) is one of Europe’s high tech regions, with above-average economic strength and a focus on export. Its state capital and largest city is Mainz. RLP is located in western Germany and was formed after World War II by the French military government from parts of regions historically not belonging together. The state has developed its own identity since, built on its natural and cultural heritage of extensive wine growing, picturesque landscapes and its many castles. The extensive modernized network of autobahns and federal highways, the convenient rail connections between the cities of Mainz, Kaiserslautern, Trier, Ludwigshafen and Koblenz, the major waterways Rhine and Mosel, as well as the state's proximity to three economically powerful centers - the Rhine-Main, Rhine-Neckar and Rhine-Ruhr regions - have created optimal framework conditions for the development of RLP into one of Germany's most dynamic regions. Salient Features 1. Geography: Rhineland-Palatinate shares international borders with France, Luxemburg and Belgium. Within Germany it neighbours are Baden-Württemberg, Hesse, Northrhine- Westphalia and the Saarland. It is the ninth largest state by area. One of the most beautiful landscapes in Germany - and the world - is the stretch of the Rhine Valley between Bingen and Bonn. Dotted with castles, it is steeped in legend, and its praises have been sung by countless poets, painters and musicians. Here and in the valley of the Mosel River grow wines which are prized by connoisseurs all over the world.

S r e t e P 18 volume 47, number 1 expedition very wall demands attention and raises questions. Who built it and why? The Limes in southern Germany and Hadrian’s Wall in northern Britain are the most distinctive physical remains of the northern expansion and defense of the Roman Empire. Particularly striking are the size of these monuments today and their uninterrupted courses Ethrough the countryside. The Limes, the largest archaeological monument in Europe, extends 550 km (342 miles) across southern Germany, connecting the Roman frontiers on the middle Rhine and upper Danube Rivers. It runs through farmland, forests, villages, and towns, and up onto the heights of the Taunus and Wetterau hills. Hadrian’s Wall is 117 km (73 miles) long, crossing the northern part of England from the Irish Sea to the North Sea. While portions of Hadrian’s Wall run through urban Newcastle and Carlisle, its central courses traverse open landscapes removed from modern settlements. The frontiers of the Roman Empire in northwestern Europe in the period AD 120–250. For a brief period around AD 138–160, Roman forces in Britain established and maintained a boundary far- ther north, the Antonine Wall. The frontier zones, indicated here by oblique hatching, are regions in which intensive interaction took place between the Roman provinces and other European peoples.
