Engagement Australia invites proposals for the 2013 Next Steps Conference: Co-producing knowledge for social impact. This year the Conference will be held at the Australian Catholic University Fitzroy Campus, Melbourne.

The University of Newcastle is a member of Engagement Australia, an alliance committed to leading, developing and promoting an integrated approach to university-community engagement within and between the higher education, private, public and community-based sectors.

All proposals are to be made online via the secured portal by close of business Monday 11 February 2013.  This website will allow you to manage your proposal, make changes as required and facilitate your conference registration.

In addition to Scholarly Presentations, the Conference Program Committee has chosen a number of other presentation formats to create opportunities for increased discussion, exploration and the co-production of knowledge. Cross sector and/or co-partner presentations are encouraged.

Further information is available here.
