Jantsch: "The task is nothing less than to build a new society and new institutions for it. With technology having become the most powerful change agent in our society, decisive battles will be won or lost by the measure of how seriously we take the challenge of restructuring the "Joing systems" of society and technology.(p.8)

"Therefore, the leadership role demanded of the university in this vast process of institutional and social change, enforced by mounting pressures and crises, derives from its unique potential for enhancing society's capability for continuous self-renewal." (p.9)

The principal orientation of the activities of the new university will be toward the planning and design of "joingt systems" of society and technology. (p.11)

*** notice what this means – thed IEforGJ project is initiating this 'principal orientation of the activities of the new university' ***

A combination of Jantsch essay  (as question or direction) and what we are developing in Barcelona-Zagreb-Dubrovnik (as answer – I'll be glad to say this in more than one sentence) could be right in the center of what they're asking for.

As a matter of fact, I'm thinking maybe we could also contribute to this Spanish CFP regarding not only the state of current university but the state of Information-Communication learning specifically>

http://ic-journal.org/index.php?section=view&id=10

In this case, we could could gather some ideas and describe the Knowledge Federation project in Barcelona for this CFP. Are you interested?

Besides, I agree with Ramon that it'd be very nice and useful to have more of the Barcelona materials  uploaded, specially the videos. Also, I'd like to find a way to contribute to Debategraph with links and ideas regarding Knowledge Federation, but I stil don't know how to access the Debategraph site.

Keep in touch,
