Starptautiskās zinātniskās konferences ārzemēs

The Symposium will be hosted by the School of Sport and Exercise Science of the Waikato Institute of Technology (WINTEC). The Co-Organisers for this event will be Prof. Franco Viviani, President of ICPAFR and Dr. Glynis Longhurst of WINTEC.  The Chair of the Scientific Committee will be Dr. Peter Maulder of WINTEC.

The organising committee has opted not to change the theme of the symposium which was to be Padua, Italy during September 2012. The general symposium theme “PHYSICAL ACTIVITY ACROSS THE LIFE SPAN, WITH SPECIAL EMPHASIS ON THE DEVELOPING INFANT AND YOUNG CHILD” has been chosen due to the paucity of knowledge and understanding about the latter part of the theme. We hope to contribute to a deeper knowledge of this important area.

The Board are cordially invited to participate, both in the event and in all formal requirements of the Symposium.  Members are also requested to advertise the event as we are hoping to attract both experienced and young scientists.  Should any members have suggestions for possible sponsors, please let the organizing committee know, suggestions will be greatly appreciated.  The ICPAFR Symposium 2013 website will be up and running shortly as it in the final stages of construction.

THE WAIKATO INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY (Wintec) is located in New Zealand’s North Island, in the region of Waikato, in the dynamic city of Hamilton, home to over 46,000 tertiary students every year. Built on the banks of New Zealand’s largest river, Hamilton is close to everything you want to be part of. Beaches, mountains, rivers, thermal pools, countryside, sport centres and adventure activities are all an easy drive away.

WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO MEETING YOU ALL IN 2013!

The Global University Network for Innovation (GUNi) invites you to actively participate in the 6^th International Barcelona Conference on Higher Education "Let's build transformative knowledge to drive social change", May 13-15, 2013.

GUNi aims to approach the challenge of engagement by higher education institutions in the larger society in an integrated manner: it will explore ways in which engagement enhances teaching, learning and research; it will approach engagement in ways that accept the multiple sites of knowledge creation, as well as the reciprocity and mutuality in learning.

In exploring this contemporary issue, the Conference will attempt to describe how university-community engagement is evolving nowadays, and will discuss and propose to go beyond the limited understandings of a third mission by offering new visions and ways for the future. GUNi invites the international academic community to jointly analyze how to build transformative knowledge to drive social change.
