[phd.students.socioeco] Invitation to Upcoming WU Institute for Ecological Economics Events

[Foster Gillian Joanne]

The Institute for Ecological Economics of the Wirschaftsuniversität Wien cordially invites you to attend our events in Winter Semester 2015.  Please save the dates and join us!

We are particularly pleased to offer you an entire day of stimulating debate and discussion from leading researchers in ecological economics at the Inaugural Event of the Institute for Ecological Economics:  Ushering in a New Era of Sustainability on October 13, 2015.


Have you ever tried a Walkshop?  Join the Regional Center of Expertise on Education for Sustainable Development (RCE) for a walk through the Green Prater with Dr. Stephen Sterling, of Plymouth University, on October 14. We'll start at the RCE for a short opening by Dr. Sterling then "think on our feet" with a 1-hour walk while discussing critical reflections on education, learning and sustainability.


Please find the full schedule below.  Feel free to forward this mail!


FYI - Registration for these events is not strictly required.  However, please register if you would like to receive readings in advance or you are not currently on our mailing list.
