Dear people from Casa de la Red / Red Iberoamericana de Luz.
I found your mail addresses on the Ecovillage Network of the Americas website.
I worked for the Global Ecovillage Network (GEN) -Europe some years
ago and I am living in ZEGG community near Berlin.
Now I work for the International Network of Engineers and Scientists
for Global Responsibility (INES, see www.inesglobal.com)
INES is holding a conference in Oaxtepec and Mexico City in
cooperation with the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico (UNAM)
from February 29 - March 3rd. 2008.
Please find the program below. You are very welcome to forward it to
other people. It would be great to greet some of you at the conference
and/or around the official dates.

The International Network of Engineers and Scientists for Global
Responsibility (INES)
Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico (UNAM)
INES-UNAM conference: "Science, peace and sustainability"
Mexico City and Oaxtepec/ Mexico
February 29 - March 3, 2008
The International Network of Engineers and Scientists (INES) is an
independent non-profit-organisation, founded in Berlin in 1991, which
is interested in the impact of science and tech-nology on our society.
Through the meeting "Science, Peace and Sustainability", INES is
seeking to facilitate contact among concerned scientists and
researchers from Mexico, Central and Latin America. This meeting will
be held in the Campus of UNAM (Mexico City) and IMSS-Oaxtepec
Convention Centre (Morelos, Mexico).
INES has been involved in the discourse of sustainability, science and
peace for a long time, with a long-standing tradition initiating or
participating in this discourse, e.g. at the INES conferences in
Amsterdam (1996), Stockholm (2000) or through the INES activities at
the World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) in Johannesburg
(2002).
Purpose of the Meeting
The debate about science for sustainability and peace has been broad,
international and trans-disciplinary so far, but still exhibits a
number of blind spots. With this meeting, INES intends to reveal some
of these blind spots.
Science, Peace and Sustainability
Whereas it is often scientific paradigms that shape our perception of
the world, the way we manage world affairs happens mainly through
technological structures, i.e. through a combina-tion of scientific
and engineering knowledge. Engineering is a closely interrelated but
independ-ent institutional structure to science, and a paradigm shift
is as necessary here, as it is in the scientific community.
Given the fact that sustainable science understands itself as problem
solving discipline, science, engineering and design are competing for
the role of the best problem solver, a competition that needs to be
made fruitful for sustainable development.
The high relevance of military research should be an essential part in
the discussion of science for sustainability. INES is an active part
in the scientific and civil society coalition for abolishing nuclear
weapons.
Lectures
- Science, education and social responsibility
- Militarization and spreading of nuclear weapons: the persistent threats.
- Climate Change and environmental issues
- The paradigm of sustainability
- Perspectives of Central and Latin America.
Challenges of the Meeting
This will be the first INES meeting in Latin America, a continent with
great social and scientific tradition. Dramatic and deep changes of
societies are happening already. New ways of solving the great social
and ecological problems of hunger and biodiversity, as well as
independence and new social structures. These changes raise questions
of peace in and between societies and, particularly, about the role of
science and technologies in such a process.
