Theme: “Intensification of the Universities Mutual Ethical and Operational Commitment”

Spain, 10 - 15 September 2001

Forum UNESCO (University and Heritage) was born in 1995, inside the UNESCO organisation, as a joint program between the Division of Cultural Heritage of the United Nations UNESCO and the Polytechnic University of Valencia.

The program consists of a worldwide interuniversity ‘network of networks’ with an informal character and horizontal structure, in which every member is considered to have equal rights and duties. This ‘Network’ has as main compromise, the defence of the Cultural Heritage of humanity through the different human, technical and scientific resources offered by all Universities and Higher University Schools involved in preserving the historical, scientific and natural heritage received from our ancestors.

This program was introduced and promoted on the first ‘Forum UNESCO International Seminar’, held in Valencia in 1996. UNESCO acknowledged this seminar as part of its 50-year anniversary celebrations.

A second seminar held in Quebec (Canada) followed the first one, and then a third one held in Melbourne (Australia), a fourth one held in Ifrane (Morocco) and finally a fifth one held in Byblos (Lebanon). To be precise, five continental seminars aiming at a wide world dissemination of the activities developed by the increasing number of members in the network.

During the last seminar, a decision was made for celebrating a plenary meeting that was to be held at the same place were the first seminar had been celebrated (the Polytechnic University of Valencia). And to this respect, we wish to make available an informative summary on the content and development of the activities programmed for the aforementioned meeting taking place from September 10th to September 16th during the: ‘VI Forum UNESCO International Seminar: Plenary Meeting’.
