Dear Colleagues,
The "Symposium on Regional and Urban Logistics for Sustainable
Production and Consumption"
will be held on October 29th to 30th 2001, at Schloss Seggau,
Austria. It is organised by
ENSURE (European Network for Sustainable Regional
Development Research),
ÖVAF (Austrian association for Agricultural Research) and
SUSTAIN
(Association for Co-ordination for the Research on
Sustainability ).
The meeting is based on the premises that regional sustainable
development necessitates
a substantial increase in the economic as well as social
interactions within regions. Innovative
approaches are needed to exploit human and natural capital
within regions and to reduce economic,
environmental and social inefficiencies that result from
“over-globalisation” of markets.
The symposium will provide a forum for the exchange of
experiences of innovative approaches
to link production and consumption in a sustainable way within
regions as well as between cities
and their “hinterland”. It will also provide room for discussion
about new strategies for:
* New forms of co-operation between producers/service
providers and consumers
* New forms of marketing for regional products and services
* New and unconventional alliances between actors on the
regional and interregional level.
The goal of the symposium is to provide an opportunity to learn
from experiences with different approaches,
to link production and consumption on the regional and
interregional level, including the co-operation with
less developed regions. On top of the exchange of ideas, the
symposium will provide a “critical mass”
to discuss innovative strategies for new logistical systems that
will form the backbone of a sustainable
economy on the regional scale. The deadlines are:
a) Presentations: Title of presentation and registration of
author(s) Sept. 7th 2001
b) Short written presentation (max. 5 pages DIN A 4) Sept.
28th 2001
(The contributions should be sent in electronically, preferably in
MS Word
to: mailto:braunegg@glvt.tu-graz.ac.at )
c) Registration: Registration of participants October 5th 2001
Symposium language
The symposium language will be English. Limited consecutive
translation (German-English) may be provided for short
presentations.
