Critica al G8 delle Università di Torino. Lettera a Profumo da Ingegneria Senza Frontiere

Dear Dr. Francesco Profumo
The Ingegneria Senza Frontiere - Engineers Without Borders (ISF-EWB) European Network hereby wish to jointly express our worries about the G8 US approach to the global sustainability. Whilst we recognise that the G8 US follows the wider Group of 8 model, the lack of inclusion of the full global community - and particularly the absence of Low-Income Nations - leads to a not truly comprehensive "Network of Networks".

For global sustainability and development, the G8 US approach appears to be limited to considering the transfer of "solutions" and technologies from the North to the South of the world. Finally, the absence of Low-Income Countries from the discussion prevents their technological capacity and reinforces underdevelopment.

Together, we would like to encourage new thinking within the upcoming G8 US. Universities and academic education need a new social point of view, fully engaging low-income nations. We hope that our organisations provide proof of the appetite of universities members at the G8 US for these ideas, and that you will find these thoughts useful in your deliberations.

Best regards.

ISF-EWB European Network
