Campus Sustainability: A key issue The need to focus on sustainability during the construction and renovation of campuses, and in developing curriculum, training and R&D strategies, is rapidly gaining recognition at leading univer-sities and corporations. To further a global discussion on this topic, this two-day conference has been convened for  the third year in a row by the International Sustainable Campus Network (ISCN), who is joined by the Global University Leaders Forum (GULF) as a host this year. The conference aims to continue the worldwide experience exchange and working group exploration  of past conferences, but to also enhance these discussions with a closer dialogue between academic and corporate organisations on campus sustainability.  A one-day "leadership track" will allow university leaders and corporate senior executives to contribute to the key conclusions and proceedings of the conference.
