Notes

1. ‘14-Point Yerevan Declaration of Partner Universities on the Principles of Cooperation in Higher Education.’ The universities (and countries) represented therein were: Eurasia International University (Armenia), Ilia State University (Georgia), Irkutsk State Linguistic University (Russian Federation), Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University (Georgia), Kiev National Linguistic University (Ukraine), Minsk State Linguistic University (Belarus), Moscow State Linguistic University (Russian Federation), Piatigorsk State Linguistic University (Russian Federation), Ryazan State University S. Yesenin (Russian Federation), State University of Gavar (Armenia), Tatar State University of Humanities and Education (Russian Federation), Yerevan State Linguistic University V. Brusov (Armenia), Yerevan State University (Armenia).

2. ‘Publication of the first Monograph on Higher Education in Romania, UNESCO-CEPES series (English),’ UNESCO Chair in Quality Management of Higher Education and Lifelong Learning of [the] ‘Lucian Blaga’ University of Sibiu website (http://unesco.ulbsibiu.ro/en/links.php, accessed 28 February, 2012). (A search of the UNESDOC database by the reviewer located one previous (1978) UNESCO-CEPES monograph in French on the Romanian higher education system, L'Enseignement supérieur en Roumanie by C. Ionescu Bujor [ED.78/WS/122], but, as one would think, the world and Romania were very different places then, and so would the monographs be.) In performing this trivial line of fact-checking, a more substantial indicator of the consistent fruitfulness of the Centre in sponsoring relevant publications during its operation was revealed, in that the same database showed 181 results (with the search terms ‘Romania’ and ‘Higher Education’), the large majority of them being in UNESCO-CEPES publications.
