Many universities in the United Kingdom perform high quality research on matters
related to sustainable development. Yet, there are relatively few events where a
multidisciplinary overview of research efforts and projects has taken place, and
where researchers from across the spectrum of the natural and social sciences have
had the opportunity to come together to discuss research methods, the results of
empirical research or exchange ideas about on-going and future research initiatives
focusing on sustainable development.

It is against this background that the “Symposium on Sustainable Development
Research at Universities in the United Kingdom” is being organised by
Manchester Metropolitan University, in cooperation with a number of institutions of
higher education active in this field, from across the country. It will involve
researchers in the field of sustainable development in the widest sense, from
business and economics, to arts and fashion, administration, environment, languages and media studies.

Call for Papers

This event will provide an opportunity for researchers from across the spectrum of the natural and social sciences to come together to discuss research methods, the results of empirical research or exchange ideas about on-going and future research initiatives focusing on sustainable development.

It will involve researchers in the field of sustainable development in the widest sense, from business and economics, to arts and fashion, administration, environment, languages and media studies. The event will see the publication of all accepted papers into a peer-reviewed book titled 'Sustainable Development Research at Universities in the United Kingdom' as part of the award-winning 'World Sustainability Series', published by Springer. Expressions of interest to take part in the event are now being sought.

Interested persons should contact the Convenor, Professor Walter Leal ([email protected]), for further details and to discuss their possible participation.
