Abstracts (academic sessions)
Abstracts contributing to the scientific debate should present either
conceptual reflections or results of empirical research within the
conference theme.
Cases (best practice sessions)
Cases should cover best practice examples, strategic concepts and
practical solutions to sustainability challenges in the public,
non-profit or business worlds.
Additional full sessions (academic or best practice)
For the first time the ISC 2012 offers the possibility to submit entire
sessions, consisting of 3-5 contributions. Researchers working on a
sustainability-related topic can take advantage of this opportunity and
present their work in the frame of an own session. Please note that all
session contributions must be provided and pre-reviewed by the session
owner. These sessions under the responsibility of an external session
contributor might be held in other languages than English. The
scientific committee will subsequently review the complete session and
inform the session owner. For further details please contact us on

Authors will be informed about the acceptance of their contributions by
18 May 2012.
