CALL FOR PAPERS: World Symposium on Sustainable Development at Universities
The aims of the “World Symposium on Sustainable Development at Universities” (WSSD-U-2012) are as follows:
- to provide universities all round the world with an opportunity to display and present their works (i.e. curriculum innovation, research, activities, practical projects) as they relate to education for sustainable development at university level;
- to foster the exchange of information, ideas and experiences acquired in the execution of projects, from successful initiatives and good practice;
- to discuss methodological approaches and projects which aim to integrate the topic of sustainable development in the curriculum of universities;
- to network the participants and provide a platform so they can explore possibilities for cooperation.
Last but not least, a further aim of the event will be to document and disseminate the wealth of experiences available today. To this purpose, a special issue of the “International Journal of Sustainability in Higher Education (IJSHE) with selected papers from the conference will be produced. Furthermore, the book “Sustainable Development at Universities: New Horizons” will be published, with a further set of papers. This will be volume 33 of the award-winning book series “Environmental Education, Communication and Sustainability” (Peter Lang Scientific Publishers), which since its creation in 1998 has become the world´s longest running book series on education and communication on sustainable development.
Deadline: September 30, 2011
