UNESCO’s International Standard Classification of Education - 1997 version - provides information on degree comparisons between different education systems around the world.
Description
The International Committee seeks to develop relationships between CAA and its members with organizations and institutions in foreign countries with similar goals and activities; to develop policy and formulate public positions on international issues that affect CAA’s members; and to maintain an active relationship with the United Nations and UNESCO through the pursuit of cooperative initiatives in such areas as culture and higher education.
Upcoming Projects
Global Artistic Practices and Internet2 Technology: Internet2 is next-generation internet, at this point only available to research facilities, the US government, and invited corporations. In this roundtable discussion, Internet2 will be introduced and demonstrated via a live-feed discussion with an international panel of internet and Internet2 pioneers. With its high-speed and high-resolution capabilities, Internet2 facilitates the possibility of transglobal dialogue and artistic collaborations, dramatically expanding on the existing Internet’s capabilities to build real communities in a virtual space with the possibility of collapsing geographic and national borders and constraints.
Participants will include internet activists, artists, and theoreticians who have been germinal in building institutional structures in relation to current internet practice, in discussion with Don Foresta, an Internet2 expert who will outline the capabilities of Internet2 and propose the possibility of CAA organizational access.
