The 2010 EASY-ECO conference in Brussels on the European perspective of evaluation of sustainable development (SD) will be the final event in the EASY-ECO series of events and therefore presents a good opportunity to get in touch with the EASY-ECO network for one more time. It will take stock of almost a decade of the EASY-ECO programme and SD evaluation practice at EU and national levels in order to – together with important European actors – identify the challenges ahead.

We invite practitioners, employees of public institutions and academics to submit papers. Particularly young researchers (with less than 10 years of full-time research experience) are invited to apply online (at http://www.sustainability.eu/easy/?k=application) and send us their CVs, letters of motivation and abstracts (both to Questo indirizzo e-mail è protetto dallo spam bot. Abilita Javascript per vederlo. and Questo indirizzo e-mail è protetto dallo spam bot. Abilita Javascript per vederlo. ) by 15 June 2010 in order to also apply for an EU grant to cover all costs of their participation. Most interesting papers will be published in the "Evaluating Sustainable Development" book series (Editors: A. Martinuzzi and P. Hardi) by Edward Elgar.

The conference is organised by the Free University Brussels (Université Libre de Bruxelles, ULB) and will take place in Brussels at the European Parliament, the Palais des Sciences, and the ULB (Campus Solbosch) on 17-19 November 2010. The full call for papers has been published at the EASY-ECO website: http://www.sustainability.eu/easy/?k=conferences&s=brussels.
