Women's Education Worldwide - Leaders in women's education from around the globe

Women's Education Worldwide 2008:

Women in Politics

 


Collegio Nuovo, University of Pavia

June 5-7, 2008, Pavia, Italy

-------

The next WEW meeting will be held at Collegio Nuovo in Pavia, one of 14 colleges acknowledged by the Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research as a Centre of Educational Excellence. We invite presidents/principals and academic deans, as well as representatives of alumnae associations, of accredited colleges and universities across the globe that have as a primary mission the education and advancement of women.

 

Program

We are planning to start the opening public session – a presentation about the Universitary of Pavia and college system and on the theme, Women and Politics – on Thursday morning, 5th of June, 2008. We will conclude with lunch (about 13:00) on Saturday, 7th of June, 2008. Meetings will be held at Collegio Nuovo. Activities will be organized for those arriving a day early (June 4).

 

Travel and Logistics

Collegio Nuovo, as the host institution, will provide meals, transportation to and from Milan Airport, and local transportation in Pavia. All participants will be responsible for paying their own airfare and lodging.

Rooms will be made available at local hotels at an estimated rate of €150 (to be confirmed) per night per room, and must be reserved through the MdE Congress Service. Rooms at the following hotels must be reserved by the 30th of April 2008:

  • Hotel Moderno (in the center of historic Pavia, close to station)
  • Cascina Scova (lovely location but not as convenient to center)

Milan is approximately 45 minutes from Pavia, for those who prefer to pursue their own accommodations there. The MdE Congress Service Centre, to which the organizational aspects of the meeting will be entrusted, can offer suggestions. It is also likely that MdE could provide daily transportation service for groups staying in Milan (in the morning from Milan and in the evening back).

 

Registration and Contact Information

Presidents, provosts/academic deans, and presidents of alumnae associations of WEW member institutions may register by downloading and these two EXCEL forms and emailing completed forms to Beba Rampulla, MdE Congress Service (mde@mdecongressi.it).
