Full Papers/cases/position papers:

Presenters may submit full papers or cases, or optionally short position papers. We strongly encourage written submissions from all presenters so that your work receives wide dissemination to GIN members via the proceedings. Full papers and other contributions should be submitted as soon as possible, and no later than June 13, 2008. Please follow the requirements specified below. Send attachments in WORD to greening@cstm.utwente.nl. Please do not submit your contribution in PDF format—the conversion will be undertaken at our end.

The conference proceedings will be added to an on-line searchable archive of GIN conferences, available to GIN Members.

 

Conference outcomes
The first conference outcome will be a manifesto with concrete recommendations on how to create sustainable innovations on a regional level and how to radically renew the regional context. All conference sessions will contribute to the manifesto.

An edited book is a further expected outcome of the GIN2008 Conference on the theme of Sustainability and Innovation. The book will be edited by Joseph Sarkis, Professor of Operations and Environmental Management, Clark University. In the spirit of GIN we will encourage inclusion of the many stakeholders who participate in the Network. Expected contributions will include practical case studies and lessons learned, conceptual and theoretical chapters, empirical, and modeling applications. The book will have sections based on these three main categories. The chapters to be included will go through editorial review and input from GIN's publishing committee.  Other publications based upon GIN2008 are being pursued.


Papers:
As a general guideline, research and policy papers should be between 4,000 and a maximum of 7,000 words in length.
Case studies: Case studies, practitioner reports, position papers may be shorter, around 4,000-to-5,000 words, more-or-less.

Presentations:

Rather than formal paper presentations, the dominant mode of the workshop will be dialogue. Oral presentations should be kept brief, with a few slides, if any at all, sticking to your main points, results, challenges, and interesting questions that will contribute to a discussion of the central issues and plans for next steps. Aim to get the session participants focusing on ideas rather than a lot of text on a screen. Make a brief presentation to provoke discussion and generate interesting research and action agendas emerging from your session. Each session will be lead by the session chair. He or she will be in contact with all presenters before the conference. Please follow the instructions by the chair.

Be sure to arrive at your session room early and identify yourself to the session chair. Each presenter will have about 10 minutes. Most sessions will run for 90 minutes. The amount of time you will have for your presentation will depend on how many other presenters are in the session and what the session chair determines would be fair and productive.

PowerPoint will be supported. If possible, email your PPT files to greening@cstm.utwente.nl by June 13 so that they can be checked and loaded on our computers to facilitate transitions between speakers; otherwise bring flash drives or CDs.
