We would like to invite you to submit abstracts and join us for this prestigious event

The Trends2017 Conference Strands will focus on "2025 Views" towards: 

 “The role of Universities”  |  “The Future of the Nation State”  |  “The role of the nation state is at stake, in Africa and globally" |  "Globalisation"  |  " Are Cities New Countries" 

We all have to rethink the role of the Universities and how they can contribute”.
