Dear Colleagues, 

The PASCAL CENTRE FOR AFRICA in partnership with CENLED (Under the Auspices of The University of Johannesburg) and the BELGIUM CAMPUS ITVERSITY presents its showcase prestigious flagship Conference in Africa that will predominantly provide a platform for all our public and private sector participants to rethink and reinvent the way that the international community shapes and forms the field of education, government, job creation, products and services that uses new “trends” in the global and local economy, social environment, demographics spheres and the never ending field of new technology. We would like to herewith invite you to submit abstracts and join us for this prestigious event. (Please advise Andre Snyman, UJ, CENLED by email - [email protected] if you intend to submit a proposal for this special and unique conference.
 

The Trends2017 Conference Streams will Focus on "2025 Views" Towards: 

 “The role of Universities”  |  “The role 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 and reinvent the role of the Universities and how they can contribute”.

This Conference will take place on the 17th,18th & 19th of October 2017 at one of the most popular international tourist attractions in Africa and South Africa, known as the KRUGER NATIONAL PARK. Whilst offering a true African experience, delegates will gather at the Skukuza Conference Centre and Camp(TBC) that will play host to this spectacular international conference and it will give a new meaning to the definition of “trends” and how the local and international communities interprets, evaluates, analyses, configures and implement the latest research done for advanced sustainable development. We are also in the process of finalising the venue and we are looking at perhaps providing a more convenient venue closer to Johannesburg for attendee's convenience. If needed. Please assist us by completing the quick 2-minute survey of interest
