The organising committee for the 12th International Australasian Campuses Towards Sustainability (ACTS) Conference is calling for reviewers to referee paper submissions for the conference.
Refereed Papers are those that are written with the intention of being published in the conference proceedings as a journal subsequent to the conference. Therefore both their initial abstract and final paper will be reviewed for their quality and relevance to the conference through double blind peer reviewing, where the identities of the authors are withheld from the reviewers. All accepted refereed papers will be published in the online Conference Proceedings with an assigned ISSN.
Refereed Papers can be submitted as either:
•a RESEARCH Paper (describing research into any aspects of sustainability related to higher education fitting any of the four streams – Operations, Teaching and Learning, Research or Leadership and Engagement) or
•a DISCUSSION Paper (theoretical explorations as discussion of sustainability practice or programs related to higher education including a review of relevant literature (e.g. case study exemplars showcasing good practice or a topical issue) aligned to any of the three streams – Operations, Teaching and Learning or Leadership and Engagement).
ACTS invites abstracts from the sustainability community for the 12th International ACTS Conference “Mobilise and Motivate: Building momentum for a holistic sustainability approach”. The call for papers is now open and will remain open until 1 June 2012.
Institutions continue to build and implement strategies, plans and actions for a more holistic approach to sustainability ‐through learning and teaching, operations, research and community engagement. As potential leaders in this field, a critical success factor is our ability to mobilise and motivate our community to embrace the sustainability journey.
The 12th International ACTS conference will address some of the key sustainability challenges facing professionals, managers, facilities, academics and researchers:
• What role do we have in the sustainability debate?
• How should institutions prepare for changing economic systems, changing student demographics and emerging potential risks associated with climate change?
• What should our community, and particularly our students, be learning about sustainability and what tools do they need to be able to deal with emerging paradigms and challenges?
• What research and engagement activities should institutions instigate and enhance?
• How can we better share innovation and best practice models to lead the wider community in sustainability?
• How can we create the appropriate sense of urgency in our institutions and gain executive buy‐in and commitment?
Each year, more and more sustainability professionals from across the globe meet at the ACTS Conference to share their stories, skills and experiences. In 2012, we continue this fine tradition. Always as we move forward we remember, sustainability is a journey, not a destination, so how should our institutions develop their “travel plans”?
