Hello All,


We are pleased to announce that the SCANZ 2013 3rd nature symposium 
(and exhibition documentation) will form the contents of a special 
edition of Leonardo Electronic Almanac. There is call information at:

Call for abstracts
Integrating indigenous perspectives with creative, environmental, 
scientific and academic views on reality is essential to our future. 
We must work together to resolve the issues facing humanity. SCANZ 
2013: 3rd nature will bring together diverse people to discuss and 
celebrate how to approach working together across cultures and 
disciplines.

Presentations
There are four types of presentations which will be reviewed by 
robust process: peer reviewed, panel presentation, solutions and 
individual.

Abstracts  are both peer reviewed and non-peer reviewed tracks.

We are using the conference management system Easy Chair. You need an 
Easy Chair log in. The page to go is: 
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=scanz2013

Further information covering submission process is available at the 
Intercreate web page. While this part of the process is formal, the 
intention is to mix session types over the three days. Some will be 
informal.

We encourage you to send us any questions, and to put forward your 
thoughts and project proposals for this selection round.

Please also forward this proposal information to others who you think 
may be interested to join us for either the residency or the 
hui/symposium events.
