I am pleased to announce the World Symposium on Sustainability at Universities (WSSD-U-2014), which will be held in Manchester, UK on 3-5 September 2014. This will follow-up a highly successful event held in Rio de Janeiro last year, parallel to the UN Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20). Link HERE.

With this Call for Papers, we are seeking contributions from suitably qualified academics, research groups and students working in the field of sustainable development as a whole,and concerned with research on sustainability, on curriculum greening and campus activities,in particular. This Call is also meant to engage colleagues undertaking
practical initiatives and projects aimed at promoting sustainable development at universities,or where universities transfer information and know-how to developing countries.WSSD-U-2014 will also offer a good platform for those undertaking local, national and international projects, where it can be showcased how higher education institutions are
putting the principles of sustainable development into practice.
