    Mediterranean Information Office for Environment, Culture and Sustainable Development Memorandum of Understanding for the Mediterranean Universities Network for Sustainable Development (SD) focusing on Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) The Universities listed below called hereafter as “Members of the Network” have agreed on the following Memorandum which includes seven (7) Articles and following Annex: Introduction-Justification The Mediterranean Region, the cradle of major civilizations and one of the birthplaces of knowledge and education faces major challenges at the dawn of the 21 st century and the 3 rd millennium. Its Universities have a duty to undertake their responsibilities. A new vision of a higher education that addresses the profound challenges of our societies and the unsustainable practices of our days is particularly needed in the Mediterranean region which is characterised by a particular historical background, and political, socio-economic and cultural conditions, evident in all countries including EU and non EU ones. There is a great need for the Universities of the Mediterranean to promote sustainable development in the region in order to stimulate and foster synergies within sustainable development and provide an efficient Forum for consultation among key-stakeholders e.g. public administration, future employers, educators at primary and secondary level, NGOs, politicians, etc. and of course, University and Academic leaders. The establishment of the Network of Mediterranean Universities for the promotion of Sustainable Development (SD) starting with Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) in the region is an urgent demand in order to revitalise the educational systems and the educational community of the Mediterranean. The time period is even more appropriate and urgent, since we are marching on the UN Decade of ESD (2005-2014) and the implementation of the UNECE Strategy on ESD and, in parallel, the countries members of the EU of the region work on the direction towards the provisions of the Bologna Process.

Main achievements since Berlin 1.1. Give a brief description of important developments, including legislative reforms In 2004 the Slovene Parliament adopted three important acts: Act Amending the Higher Education Act (in May 2004), Act on Recognition and Evaluation of Education (in June 2004), and Higher Vocational Education Act (in July 2004). By doing this Slovenia implemented all three legislative priorities set out in the Berlin Communiqué. The Acts also enable the implementation of other developmental orientations of Slovene higher education envisaged by the Bologna Declaration and its accompanying documents and the Master Plan for Higher Education of the Republic of Slovenia. The structure of studies consists of three cycles. The features regarding the contents of study programmes at individual cycles are merely outlined by the Higher Education Act, while details should be provided for with the adoption of a national framework for higher education qualifications in compliance with the guidelines of the European framework for higher education qualifications. The first cycle has a binary structure and offers two types of study programmes: university (academically oriented) and professional programmes.

  • Mr Sauro Longhi (PDF
    Contamination as a key to innovation and entrepreneurship Prof. Sauro Longhi Rettore Università Politecnica delle Marche Board of the Conference of Italian University Rectors (CRUI) The context: Promoting entrepreneurship has become a key issue for all European countries. Empirical evidence: it is not the number of new firms but their quality in terms of innovativeness. Start-ups able to introduce innovations, product innovations, play a relevant role in increasing wealth creation and generating new employment. The introduction of radical innovations dependent on the application of the new knowledge stemming from scientific research. The role of University: Universities are fundamental in stimulating the entrepreneurial orientation of their students and researchers. Last few decades: European universities promoted the development of entrepreneurship centres, established entrepreneurship courses. The efficiency depends on a complex chain that starts from the entrepreneurial attitude of people, their entrepreneurial orientation, and the subsequent phases of incubation and acceleration. Universities intervene (in many cases) in the entrepreneurial orientation of researchers and students and the initial support to the start-up of new firms. The role of University: After the incubation period within the university the growth of spin-offs depends more on the external environment were they can find appropriate support services to scale-up and growth (incubators and accelerators, venture capital, cluster of high-tech firms). Universities support services for start-ups within the laboratories but also in stimulating partnerships with private and public subjects at the local level to enhance the entrepreneurial ecosystem . To improve the numbers of researchers and students involved in the creation of spin-off.
