2011 Australian Campuses Towards Sustainability (ACTS) Conference 28-30 September, South Australia

In order to be more sustainable, tertiary education institutions need to embed principles of sustainability into all aspects of core business. From learning and teaching, to campus operations and community engagement, there is little about an institution that should not be touched by sustainability. Yet, building the case for change remains a major challenge. Academics, teachers, professional staff, students and service providers all grapple with placing their work in the context of integrated whole rather than simply individual elements. The ACTS 2011 Conference will tackle this challenge, exploring how sustainability fits into core business and providing tools and techniques to enable the required change. The call for abstracts is open until 27 May.
