“Connect – Innovate – Ignite!

The 16th International ACTS Conference will be hosted by the University of the Sunshine Coast in Queensland from the 2 – 4 November 2016. The theme “Connect – Innovate – Ignite! Collaborating to spark sustainable solutions for a smart future” will challenge participants with the question – How do we work together to drive the sustainability agenda as the solution to building a smart future?

In 2015 we ‘refocused and renewed’ now its time to take the next steps.  Over the last 12 months, there have been significant steps forward in the transformation towards sustainability. The commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals and COP21 by every single nation around the world makes a bold statement. It is now time to connect our thought leaders, policy makers and business world and ignite the spark to innovate new and improved ways forward. It is our time, as educational institutions to work closely to change unsustainable practices and meet the requirements of the future. If any sector can make this happen, it is tertiary education.
