ISCN 2016: Members Only Summit
The Italian Network of Universities for Sustainability (RUS) aims to accelerate progress towards institutionalizing sustainability commitments to achieve UN Sustainable Development Goals. It will establish a shared framework for sustainability metrics and best practices, and foster sustainability education and research. RUS will organize activities around themes like mobility, energy, and waste, coordinate corresponding panels, and conduct periodic evaluations. It began in 2013 with 12 universities and now includes about 50 interested Italian institutions formalizing the network in the coming weeks to officially launch in June 2016.
ISCN 2016: Student Leadership Award Winner
The Sustainability Week is the largest student-run sustainability event in Switzerland. It brings over 120 sustainability events and over 10,000 visitors to the five universities each year. The goals are to raise awareness of sustainability issues among students, set concrete sustainability demands for the universities, and connect the universities. In 2016 it engaged over 4,000 visitors and led to achievements like a new minor in environmental studies and a vegan cafeteria. It is organized democratically and sustainably by students with support from university departments and the Swiss Student Union.
ISCN 2016: IARU Overview
The IARU Sustainable Campus Initiative is a collaboration between 11 major universities, including the University of Copenhagen, UC Berkeley, and Cambridge, to provide leadership in sustainability. Through research initiatives, student exchanges, workshops, and guidelines, the Initiative aims to illuminate pathways to a more sustainable future and support sustainability globally. With over 85 student exchanges and 4000 downloads of its guidelines, the small collaborative group seeks to facilitate knowledge sharing and transformative change beyond best practices at its member universities and other institutions over the next ten years.
ISCN 2016: Working Group 3: Integration of Research, Teaching and Facilities
This document discusses aligning university learning with sustainability. It suggests that surroundings strongly influence understanding of sustainability. Universities should create experiential learning around sustainability challenges. Most students will be alive in 2100, so universities must prepare them for future challenges. Students are categorized as generalists, specialists, flexitarians, or authorities based on career focus and sustainability knowledge. Research examines employer views on important student knowledge, skills, and attributes for sustainability-focused careers. Soft skills like communication and strategic thinking are highly valued, alongside both general and specific sustainability knowledge. Experiential learning is key to developing these skills and mindsets aligned with sustainability.
WKU Strategic Planning Kick-Off
The document outlines Western Kentucky University's strategic planning kick-off meeting that took place on October 9, 2017. It discusses WKU's mission, transitioning to a shared mission, strategic planning goals, and the structure of the steering committee and working groups.

A communication plan is also outlined to share information and gather feedback throughout the process.
Theory to practice of daess implementation lessons sane
This document summarizes lessons learned from engaging districts in Malawi on implementing the District Agricultural Extension Support System (DAESS). It finds that while DAESS structures have been established in districts, their roles and responsibilities are unclear and membership varies inconsistently with guidelines. Functionality of committees is challenged by absenteeism and lack of standard procedures. There is also a narrow interpretation of demand-driven extension that does not reflect the paradigm shift in extension approaches. However, opportunities also exist to strengthen DAESS through leveraging various stakeholders, reviewing extension policies, and supporting innovation and capacity building at district levels. The way forward is to promote action research and learning to demonstrate changes needed for DAESS.
Transition Advisory Team Meeting, April 16, 2013
The document summarizes the meeting of the Transition Advisory Team on April 16, 2013 at LSU. It includes:

Frameworks for responsible metrics: Challenges and solutions - Dr Elizabeth Gadd, Research Policy Manager (Publications), Loughborough UniversityImproving CSO-academic collaboration
This document discusses improving collaboration between civil society organizations (CSOs) and academics. It recommends that CSOs be involved from the beginning of research projects, that objectives be clear, and that the research partner be carefully chosen based on familiarity with each other's work. Universities should provide training in collaborative methods, consider funding knowledge brokers, and engage fully with CSOs. CSOs should proactively engage with universities by providing secondment opportunities and having academics join their boards. Funding bodies should support embedded gateways and reward collaboration.
Chancellor's Task Force On Diversity
This document summarizes diversity and inclusion efforts at Virginia community colleges. It shows that minority student populations have grown significantly from 2001 to 2015, but faculty and leadership diversity have lagged behind. Several actions have been taken to increase diversity, such as establishing chief diversity officers, recruiting programs, and partnerships. Challenges remain around infrastructure, accountability, and developing a diverse talent pipeline. The goal is to better connect the mission of opportunity with diversity initiatives through community building.
Benefits and challenges of CSO-academic collaboration
The document discusses the benefits and challenges of collaboration between civil society organizations (CSOs) and academics. It notes that the Food Research Collaboration's mission is to facilitate more effective collaboration between these groups to improve UK food policy. Some benefits of collaboration include increased impact, access to resources and funding for academics, and academic expertise and endorsement for CSOs. However, challenges can include differences in general problem-solving approaches versus specific solutions, time constraints, cultural differences, issues of prestige, and potential conflicts of interests.
