International Conference on Universal Knowledge and Language 25-29 November, 2002 Taj Goa, Fort Aguada. (http://www.cfilt.iitb.ac.in) Knowledge, Culture and Language have been addressed by scientists and scholars as isolated domains in the past. Current trends are compelling philosophers, computer engineers, social leaders and policy-makers to enlarge the understanding of the convergence of information media, and to take a more integrated approach to societal development. THE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON UNIVERSAL KNOWLEDGE organized by the UNDL Foundation, Geneva, Transcultura International Institute, Paris and the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, aims at providing an appropriate framework and atmosphere for such approach and understanding. The Program of the conference is organized under the broad and provocative theme "Universal Knowledge and Language" and will be focussed from four interrelated perspectives: Phillosophical, Cultural, Linguistic and Engineering. The conference is being chaired by Prof. M.G.K. Menon. It will feature a number of eminent speakers from various countries, which will also include Prof. Murali Manohar Joshi, the honorable Minister of HRD of India. Prof. Ashok Misra, director IIT Bombay is the co-chair of the international advisory committee.
