theology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, engineering, linguistics
and climate. The story of the event continues now with the second

questions and aspects addressed by friends of the Science
Newspaper.

University Open Days is one of the news that caught the
attention of participants at the 2009 edition of the European Week
of Regions and Cities that took place in Brussels, Belgium, between
5-8 October. Open Days 2009's motto was "Global Challenges,
European Responses" and attracted thousands of national and
regional policymakers, experts and representatives from business,
civil society and academia. Discussions focused around four main
topics but the pride of place was the perspectives that can offer
creativity and innovation. That's because the field of RDI
(Research, Development and Innovation) is a matter of high priority
for European regions. These were the topics that we addressed in a
discussion with Luc Van den Brande, Committee of the Regions' (CoR)
President.

Borne out of concern about the shortage of young people considering aviation as a career pathway, the development of the programme was an initiative of The Catlins Area School Deputy Principal Allan Jon, Head of Technology Jon Bird, and ATTTO Aviation Industry Training Advisor Dave Evans. Completing the partnership is the New Zealand airline Air Fiordland, on board to help maintain industry perspective and currency for teaching staff.

the best in ourselves, many of us are wondering, "but how do I
tangibly effect change in my own life? Or in my own
organization?"
