Dear Colleagues,



While summer holidays are winding down, please keep in mind that the next GIN conference GIN2005-2 will be held in Canada, October 20-22, 2005. Go to http://www.greeningofindustry.org/gin2005-2.htm for the full announcement, Call for Presentations, and travel information.



1) The Call for Presentations for the GIN2005-2 Conference is NOW OPEN!

Go to http://www.greeningofindustry.org/gin2005-2.htm

GIN2005-2, The Greening of Industry Network’s International Conference on

“Global Shifts and Regional Development: Innovating for Sustainable Energy, Finance, and Agriculture”

The Call is now open to all for participation in the conference discussions and for presentation of case study posters. Visit http://www.greeningofindustry.org/gin2005-2.htm for full details. You are invited to submit brief proposals of 200-300 words responding to the Conference Themes, Crucial Issues, Specific Questions, or Sector Focus. Proposals that reflect your experiences or are based on analyses of the specific sectors, or the interplay between the global and regional, or international collaborative patterns along the value chain are most welcome. We encourage you to submit your summary early since proposals will be reviewed and acceptances made on a continuing basis, with final acceptances made by September 19. If submitting a proposal, you must also register for the conference. Registration will open in August.

Collaboration and partnerships are longstanding themes within the GIN debate. By looking more closely at specific sectors and product value chains, this debate will gain depth, relevance, and applicability. For this conference we will focus specifically on integrating topical areas of Environment & Finance with Energy & Agriculture. We will aim to create an agenda and strategies for financing sustainable energy and agriculture for regional development in a global society. Of course, if you have any questions or comments on the conference, please don't hesitate to contact us. We hope to see you in October. The GIN conference is just one of many good reasons for visiting Nova Scotia. Flying in, your destination is Halifax International Airport (YHZ).



The GIN conferences:

23 events in 12 countries around the world since 1991, comprise a unique experience record of bringing people and the issues together for a big perspective on sustainability, forging connections among research, policy, and practice. See http://www.greeningofindustry.org/events.html for the series to date.
