    Abstract
    This present Research Report provides a synthesis of the main findings of the UNESCO Forum on Higher Education, Research and Knowledge, from its establishment in 2001 to the conclusion of its activities under Phase 1 in 2009. This arena for debate was launched to follow-up the outcomes of the two major UNESCO world conferences, the 1998 World Conference on Higher Education, “Higher Education in the twenty-first century” and the 1999 World Conference on Science, “Science for the twenty-first century”. Having tracked the numerous and rapid changes of the intervening decade, it is, therefore, entirely fitting that the UNESCO Forum should take stock of the new dynamics in 2009, when UNESCO will reprise these major conferences so as to chart progress and identify emerging trends.
