"We have to find a common ground between the productive sector and universities in order to be able to share knowledge. We already have some disciplines addressing sustainability, but I believe that after the Global Forum, this will be extended to all courses."

Zaki Akel Sobrinho, director of the Applied Social Sciences department of the Federal University of Paraná (UFPR)
