Call for Papers
MANAGING ENVIRONMENTAL KNOWLEDGE 20th International Conference on Informatics for Environmental Protection (EnviroInfo-2006)
6-8 September 2006 Graz, Austria
In a world of rapid change, organizations are constantly seeking ways of adapting and reinventing themselves. At the same time, the urgency and scope of environmental problems call for both immediate action and sustainable long-term strategies. To survive and flourish in such a dynamic environment, decision-makers need to re-examine their knowledge assets and identify methods to exploit them effectively. Addressing this transition to a knowledge-based economy, EnviroInfo-2006 focuses on the role of knowledge management in advocating sustainability and environmental protection. The conference investigates new ways of optimizing organizational workflows, building communities, engaging groups in participatory decisions, and supporting education and advocacy campaigns.
Since its inception in 1986, the EnviroInfo conference series of the German Informatics Society developed into the leading European platform for experts in sustainability and environmental protection. In 2006, the series' 20th anniversary will be celebrated in Graz, Austria, continuing the successful tradition of exchanging environmental knowledge among the scientific community, public administrations, non-governmental organizations, companies involved in environmental informatics, and the end-users of environmental information systems. Hosted by the Know-Center Graz and Graz University of Technology concurrently with the 6th International Conference on Knowledge Management (www.i-know.at), EnviroInfo-2006 welcomes papers on methods, tools, technologies, best practices and case studies. Possible topics for submissions include but are not limited to:
* Environmental Knowledge Management * Environmental Information Systems Engineering * Environmental Online Communication * Corporate Social Responsibility * Cross-Cutting Environmental Themes
