Conference Theme: THE ROLE OF UNIVERSITIES IN CIVIL SOCIETY
Dear Colleagues:
The recent events in Georgia, with the tragic loss of life and property among South Ossetians, Georgians, Abkhazians and Russians, demonstrate yet again the necessity for educators and scholars to retain strong lines of communication. AUDEM has since its inception been committed to the value of democratic interaction. Among the most important characteristics of democratically minded peoples is the desire to find or create common interests with one another. It is timely that the upcoming AUDEM conference will take place in Baku, Azerbaijan, because it will bring to the Caucasus region an example of professionals from North America and across Western, Central and Eastern Europe who value the communication and interaction that the conference makes possible and the many collaborative activities that result from AUDEM meetings. An AUDEM conference is an example of democracy at its best.
The AUDEM Board of Directors looks forward to seeing all of you in Baku at our 19th Annual Conference, November 9 - 12.
John Ryder
President

The Alliance of Universities for Democracy is a consortium of institutions of higher learning formed to enhance the role of education in promoting democratic institutions, economic development including technology transfer, decentralized decision making, human health, sustainable habitation of the earth, and common moral and social values. At its inception in the 1990s, the Alliance included institutions in Central and Eastern Europe and the US. In 1993 the organization voted to expand membership to Western Europe, and in 1996 the first university in Asia was admitted.
