Dear Colleagues,A new journal, titled "International Journal of Sustainability in Higher Education" is planned. Its aim is to address environmental management systems (EMS), sustainable development and Agenda 21 issues at higher education institutions, worldwide. The journal shall report on environmental improvements at universities, curriculum greening and campus development, disseminate case studies on matters such as transportation, recycling and waste management, as well as projects and programmes. The journal will also focus on the dissemination of experiences and foster information exchange with respect to pilot projects, analysis of legislation and appraisals of the impacts of regulations at universities. Moreover, it intends to serve as a vehicle for the documentation and dissemination of teaching and learning approaches showing what universities and colleges are doing to pursue the path of sustainable development. It will fulfil a need for scholarly publications in the field.
The target groups of the journal are university administrators, teaching staff (lecturers, senior lecturers, associate professors and full professors), researchers and staff at estate departments. In addition, due to its holitisc nature, ther members of staff (at universities and colleges) in charge of health and safety, water and electricity consumption and transport policies among others will also find the journal very useful. The journal will have an international dimension and an editorial board reflecting the diversity of themes and areas it intends to cover.
As part of an on-going feasibility study, we would be interested to ascertain the interest among individuals and organisations about the journal. If you are interested to know more about it, please send us an e-mail (mailto:eeen@realworld.de). A database of contacts will be compiled and we shall forward to you further details. Thanks.
