ISCN Working Groups

As part of its mission to support colleges and universities in fulfilling their leadership role for advancing knowledge, technology and tools to create a sustainable future, the ISCN has organized working groups to explore critical issues and facilitate the development of resources related to the three ISCN-GULF Sustainable Campus Charter principles:

ISCN Principles

These working groups are led by experienced faculty and staff from institutions that participate in the ISCN network and are located all over the world. Working group co-chairs are listed below.

We are currently seeking additional members to join us in this collaborative effort. You do not need to have participated in ISCN activities in the past to become member on a working group.

Working Group Research Agendas

Each working group has established a series of objectives and activities, as described in the research agendas below. The primary focus at this time is to continue to refine the ideas discussed at the 2011 ISCN conference. The long- term goals will be to provide cutting-edge resources related to the three charter principles, which will be publicly available via the ISCN website.

In addition, Working Group 3 has provided an extended summaryicon  of their objectives and proposed deliverables as discussed at the 2011 ISCN Conference.

Working Group Member Responsibilities

Working group members will be invited to give feedback to the group’s co-chairs concerning research agenda and to provide input into draft documents prepared for circulation within the network. They will have the opportunity to share these ideas with others in the in-depth conference Working Group Sessions.

If you are interested in participating in one of the working groups, please contact the relevant ISCN working group co-chairs with an email stating your name, title, organization, and any specific interests you may have for joining. The co-chairs will provide you with further details.
