How do North-South university partnerships develop and implement sustainability strategies? This record of the conference organised by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) programme on subject-related partnerships with universites in developing countries, and held at the University of Kassel in June 2002, includes the contributions made by three prominent key-note speakers from Latin America, Africa and Asia about ecological, economic and social sustainability. The principles on which the universities base their work in the regions are summarised and explained in ten operational directives, formulated by three workshops on ecological, economic and social sustainability. Representatives of the Ministry of Economic Co-opration, the Ministry for Foreign Relations and the Federal Environmental Office set out their expectations with regard to the role of universities in sustainable development. Representatives of two citiy Agenda 21 groups (Munich and Hanover) make an urgent appeal for co-operation in their local and global urban sustainability programmes. This reader on universities and sustainability, which will be a useful resource for the challenges ahead, lists all the projects in the programme, with a map indicating their location. Project summaries and map can also be found on the accompanying CD-ROM.
