World Universities Forum – Mumbai

The second World Universities Forum will be held at the Indian Institute of Technology – Bombay, Mumbai, India, celebrating its fiftieth anniversary as one of the leading higher education institutions in India, Jan. 16-18, 2009.

The Forum examines the role and future of the University in a changing world. The 2009 Forum follows our highly successful inaugural conference in Davos, Switzerland, in January 2008. It is ambitious in its intellectual and practical, agenda-setting scope, and broad in its themes.

The deadline for the current call for papers round is Sept. 11, 2008. Check the link for later rounds.

The conference is not explicitly on law, but the themes are broad enough to interest some legal scholars. Topics listed include human rights, international development, and intellectual property.
