Just over a week ago, we received notification that EUDEC 2008 has been granted recognition as an Official Project for the UN Decade of Education for Sustainable Development by the German UNESCO commission.

This is very good news for us. Having a big name like UNESCO associated with this conference gives us a lot of credibility and prestige. It’s an honor to be associated with such an organization.
