    Dear SIMian colleagues,

    As part of our work on Global Leadership for Sustainability at Texas A&M in Central Texas, we are pleased to invite abstracts to our 2nd SUSTEX Summit on Sustainability.

    The submissions system is still open and we would welcome more SIMians to join us this year in Central Texas!



    The 2nd SUSTEX International Summit at Texas A&M University - Central Texas focuses on United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and invites contributions about the social, economic, and environmental dimensions of the SDGs.

    With the rollout of the seventeen Sustainable Development Goals for 2030, our universities train leaders to ensure that this ambitious international agenda can be met in an efficient, profitable, and socially responsible manner. We acknowledge that all national and regional contexts differ, and therefore it is critical that we analyze real world challenges for communities, firms, schools, and governments in localizing the SDGs.

    Therefore, we encourage submissions within the following general themes:

    1. Leadership for Sustainability
    2. Strategic planning and management for long term sustainable economic growth
    3. Corporate social responsibility
    4. The role of spirituality in/to sustainability
    5. Responsible design and management of supply chains
    6. Construction/redesign/maintenance of resilient infrastructure and sustainable industrialization
    7. Food security and promotion of sustainable agriculture production
    8. Poverty alleviation through entrepreneurship
    9. Stakeholder partnership and collaboration and measurement to ensure localization of SDGs
    10. International management for sustainability
    11. Organizing for sustainable effectiveness
    12. Other themes you find to be relevant.

    Submissions should be scoped locally, regionally, nationally, and internationally, as appropriate for your study.

    Important dates:

    • Abstract deadline: 15 February 2020
    • Acceptances will be communicated on a rolling basis by: 25 February 2020
    • Full paper deadline for inclusion in proceedings: 1 April 2020

    Updates will be available online at:
