AUCEA Conference

Under the banner of “Engaging for a Sustainable Future”, this conference will promote partnerships between universities, private enterprise, Government and communities.

The AUCEA National Conference 2008 will be held on the Sunshine Coast and Fraser Islands - two regions that embrace sustainability.

The role universities play in creating a sustainable future through engaging with their communities is substantial. You are invited to play a part.

The cutting edge program will advance university-community engagement into the 21st Century, offering the opportunity for academics, private sector project managers, Government and Council officers, and community engagement practitioners to share expertise and experience. The conference will also provide vital opportunities and knowledge for organisations wanting to engage with Australian universities.

Program

The AUCEA (Australian Universities Community Engagement Alliance) National Conference 2008 will bring together community engagement practitioners and academics, as well as private enterprise, Government and community representatives who are involved, or who wish to be involved, in a university - community partnership.

Speakers will include Professor James Powell from the United Kingdom. Other prominent speakers hail from academia and corporations.
