Dear Dr. Duart and Ms. Kiselyova:

(2) Many thanks again for your excellent paper.  Our GUS certainly needs to
emulate your outstanding performances, particularly along with Tapio=B9s
GUS/UNESCO Chair and your UNESCO Chair programs in order =B3to promote equal
opportunities in the knowledge society=B2 -- as your paper states.

Your paper also states;

> =B3The Chair will constitute an instrument to aid collaboration amongst
> high-level and internationally renowned researchers, and teachers at
> universities and other institutions in Europe, Latin America, the Caribbe=
an
> and other regions around the world=A0 (see: www.uoc.edu/catedra/unesco)=B2
>=20
> =B3Development and promotion -=A0 an attempt to drive and make operative a gl=
obal
> network for cooperation that allows for debate, thereby contributing know=
ledge
> and tools for dealing with what is known the "digital divide" in current
> society.=A0 This is one of the main objectives and challenges of the Chair.=
=B2
>=20
I also wholeheartedly agree with what your paper says;

> =B3The cooperation between universities from different cultures and languag=
es
> must be built with the common commitment on sharing experiences and knowl=
edge.
> This way, we can build a new open and transformational university framewo=
rk
> based in a trans-cultural unity in difference.=B2
>=20
I greatly appreciate to read the following para in your paper;

> =B3The quality education in the XXI century requires not only a specific
> analysis of the academic activities but a new concept of collaboration an=
d
> respect for diversity. By promoting the quality education, GUS promotes a=
n
> integration of the social, economic, political, and spiritual insights. T=
he
> new university model exhibits respect for freedom and dignity by giving m=
any
> cultures the opportunity to express themselves in their own best terms.=B2

We would be very delighted if we can have your collaboration to our GUS
projects in Spanish speaking countries, e.g., Cuba and the Caribbean
countries, and soon other Latin American countries.
