PARTICIPATION CALL for the SEA-EU Service Learning Conference "Community-engaged University"

The international professional and scientific Service Learning Conference Community-engaged University is an event organized by the European University of the Seas (SEA-EU) alliance. The objective of the SEA-EU Service Learning (SL) conference is to bring together policy makers, teachers, researchers, students and practitioners from various aspects of Service Learning with the idea to increase the number and the quality of Service Learning activities in the SEA-EU universities. Service Learning will be presented as a tool that can be used in the process of creating an engaged university.

This call is open to all kinds of contributors willing to support the idea of creating an engaged university. This invitation goes to all the people willing to support this idea with any kind of contributions to support this action. Possible formats for the conference proceedings can be: posters, articles, practice reports, discussion papers, storytelling, SL course material... (there are no restrictions).

All submitted papers according to the proposed form will be published in the online conference proceedings. Selected papers will be considered for the publication in the WoS journal Journal Interdisciplinary Description of Complex Systems – INDECS. INDECS is indexed in the Web of Science Core Collection, DOAJ EBSCO Academic SearchTM Complete, EconLit, ERIH PLUS, and Ulrich's.

The conference participation is free of charge.

If the epidemiological situation allows, the conference will be organized in-person, together with online version of participating for those who weren’t able to join us in the beautiful Split. If the epidemiological situation won’t be favourable, we plan to organize a virtual conference.
