<div><br><br>The School of Public Management and Planning of Stellenbosch University, South Africa is pleased to announce the 11th International Winelands Conference - "Sustainable Futures: What's Left? What's Right? What Next?" and to invite the submission of papers for this prestigious event in 2008.
<br><br>The 11th International Winelands Conference, similar to its 10 predecessors, primarily provides an opportunity for academics and practitioners in delivery, regulation and development of public value and in ensuring eco-systems viability to engage with the challenges of their particular sectors. However, the conference theme, "Sustainable Futures: What's Left? What's Right? What Next?" suggests that the governance and delivery mechanisms of those institutions, units, entities and organs of local, national, and supra-state government, together with other providers of public value through service delivery, regulation as well as development and ensuring eco-systems viability must change decisively in order to ensure a sustainable future for the
6.7 billion people on earth – and the number is still growing. The Conference provides the opportunity for challenging this conclusion and/or sharing ideas on what forms change should take.<br><br>The topic of the Conference and the themes will form the basis of the interaction between academics, practitioners and other stakeholders to explore a wide variety of issues which will contribute to the discourse.
<br><br>This 11th biennial Conference will once again be held in historic Stellenbosch, the university town with scenic oak-lined streets, elegant old architecture, a wonderful climate, magnificent tourist destinations and, of course, the world-famous wine estates, from which the Conference takes its name.
<br><br>We invite you to submit an abstract of between 600 and 800 words, but no less than 600 words before 01 November 2007 and take part in this exciting conference. Please comply with all technical requirements for submissions, available on the website. For more background on the conference topic and themes, please read the brief available on the website.
<br><br>We look forward to welcome you in Stellenbosch.Deyana Isaacs<br>Conference Coordinator<br>School of Public Management and Planning<br>Stellenbosch University<br>South Africa<br><br>Telephone: +27 21 918 4131/4122<br>
