Call for Papers: Symposium on Greening Campuses at UK Universities:
Innovative Strategies for Sustainable Campuses
Queen Margaret University, Edinburgh, UK, Thursday, 4th September 2025
Greening campuses is essential for sustainable development as it
enhances environmental quality, fosters biodiversity, and creates
healthier learning environments. Green spaces improve air quality,
reduce urban heat effects, and promote water conservation through
sustainable landscaping practices. Integrating nature into educational
institutions encourages students and staff to engage with
sustainability, fostering a culture of environmental stewardship.
Additionally, green campuses can serve as living laboratories for
research and innovation, allowing the community to explore sustainable
practices firsthand. By prioritising eco-friendly initiatives, campuses
not only improve their immediate surroundings but also contribute to
global sustainability goals, promoting a more resilient and responsible
future.
Against this background, the main aim of the Symposium on Greening
Campuses at UK Universities: Innovative Strategies for Sustainable
Campuses, organised by the UK Consortium on Sustainability Resarch
(UK-CSR)
https://www.mmu.ac.uk/research/missions/leading-sustainability/UK-CSR
and Queen Margaret University, Edinburgh, UK, and which will be held on
Thursday, 4th September 2025, is to discuss and introduce some of the
means via which the principles of sustainable development may be
integrated into the operations of higher education institutions. It will
also showcase research and innovation in sustainable practices,
encouraging students and faculty to engage in projects that contribute
to sustainability on campuses. Finally, the symposium will discuss how
best to engage learners more actively in campus-related sustainability
initiatives and projects, to enhance their understanding and commitment
to SDGs and sustainable practices in their future professional activities.
The symposium will be of special interest to educators, operations staff
(such as facilities management), researchers and students, who will
discuss and share best practices, innovative approaches, and findings
related to embedding sustainability in campus-related activities.
Publishing opportunity
Accepted papers will be published in the book Greening Campuses at
Universities: Innovative Strategies for Sustainable Campuses, as part of
the leading peer-reviewed book series on sustainability issues, Springer
Nature’s World Sustainability Series: https://www.springer.com/series/13384.
The book series is fully indexed and its peer-reviewed nature means that
it has, over the years, been accepted for promotion and tenure purposes.

300 words along with the authors’ names and full contact details
as soon as possible and before 27th February 2025. Full papers are due
