ISEE 2012 has been conceived to dovetail with the Rio+20 UNCSD Earth Summit.
ISEE, a nonprofit organization, aims at advancing understanding of the relationships between the economy, ecology and society, for the mutual well-being of people and nature. ISEE conferences are transdisciplinary and have been held biennially since 1990.
ISEE 2012 will address UNCSD themes as well as other key debates within ecological economics and environmental policy. It will promote dialogue with the Summit through a final ministerial panel and the participation of policy makers. The challenge for Ecological Economics at this Summit is to contribute to designing innovative alternatives, to address market and institutional failures, as well as to better understand ecological and economic systems.
Conference Themes
- Greening the Economy
- The Political Economy of Green Development
- Environmental Justice, Ethics and Values
- Methodological Challenges
ISEE is seeking types for abstracts: Panels (for long presentations), Roundtables (for short interventions) and Posters. Submissions can be in the form of individual abstracts or as full Panels and Roundtables. Full Panels/Roundtables require a cogent theme, a brief introduction giving the rationale, names of session chair(s), and abstracts/papers of all contributors. Alternative innovative formats, including performances, films and installations, would also be welcome for consideration.
Funding Provisions
The organizers will consider the prospect of travel support if a full paper is submitted by the specified deadline and if funding is available. Upon acceptance of full papers for presentation, a separate selection process will be launched for consideration of travel grants. Those whose papers are selected will be informed at the first stage and will be told they will receive confirmation of travel grant availability by end of February 2012 to enable registration by early March.
Last date for submission of abstracts is November 15, 2011.
