The aim of the 2018 ISCN Conference is to emphasise the current and future role of Higher Education Institutions for sustainable development. This includes education, research, collaboration and operations and facilities. This year we are taking a new approach to curating content for the conference –we will both curate sessions and crowdsource your ideas to provide the opportunity for your projects to be highlighted. Through active participation and engagement more ISCN members and guests will contribute to the sharing of knowledge, culture, models and methods to further advance our commitment to the development of sustainability.
