The Global University: Past, Present, and Future Perspectives is a two-day conference to be held at the University of Wisconsin-Madison on February 5 and 6, 2010. Following up on earlier meetings in China and the United Kingdom, this will be the third international conference of the "Ideas and Universities" project of the Worldwide Universities Network (WUN).

The "Ideas and Universities" project brings together leading higher-education scholars from China, Australia, Canada, Norway, the United Kingdom, and the United States to discuss (a) the roles that universities have played—and continue to play—in the global knowledge economy, and (b) the evolving identity of university teacher-researchers and their changing roles in institutions of higher learning.

This conference is free and open to the public. But space is limited and pre-registration is required. If you have questions about the conference, please contact Professor Adam R Nelson.

Sponsors of The Global University conference are:

• The Worldwide Universities Network;
• The University of Bristol;
• The University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign;
• The University of Wisconsin-Madison's Division of International Studies, Global Studies, and Department of Educational Policy Studies.
