13th International CCPH Conference | April 30 – May 3, 2014 – Chicago, Illinois USA
From Rhetoric to Reality: Achieving Authentic, Equitable & Transformative Partnerships
Pre-conference workshops:
1. Knowledge Mobilization: What It Is and Why You Should Do It Presenters: Elizabeth Tryon, Assistant Director of Community-Based Learning, Community-University Exchange, University of Wisconsin-Madison Linda Hawkins, Director, Institute for Community Engaged Scholarship, The University of Guelph J. Ashleigh Ross, Community-University Exchange Graduate Fellow, Community-University Exchange, Morgridge Center for Public Service, University of Wisconsin-Madison
This workshop will describe models and ways of community-campus knowledge mobilization (KMb). Knowledge Mobilization, which grew out of the Science Shop model popular in Europe and Community University Research Alliance movement in Canada, strives to gather community issues and match them with academic resources to promote social justice. Representatives from 3 academic institutions from the United States and Canada will lead this workshop and cover the historical context and evolution of the community-university partnering movement and current practices. The workshop will cover the spectrum of different community engagement strategizes from community-based participatory research through direct service as they apply to KMb structures. Each institution and locale has unique dynamics that influence how KMb structures will be created and implemented. This workshop will provide instructive guidelines for creating KMb and will include time for attendees to customize their own models of KMb that can be taken back to their home institutions.
International Summer School: Spatial structures and Dynamics – Methods and tools for exploring spatial systems
The Summer School will take place in Florence, Italy, between 14-19 July, 2014 and it is organized by the french laboratory of excellence DynamiTe. During the summer school, time will be divided between courses (50%) and tutorials (50%).
The school will provide in-depth reference courses and tutorials to a multi-disciplinary audience of students and researchers.The level of lectures will range from introductory to advanced, as attendees are not expected to be familiar with all the fields covered.
The covered topics are: Agent-Based Modelling – Cellular automata – Companion modeling – Complex Networks – Complexity – Geosimulation – Multilevel modeling – Ressource Management – Spatio-temporal modeling – Spatial Statistics.
Disciplines concerned: Agronomy – Archeology – Computer Science – Demography – Economy – Geography – Ecology – Epidemiology – Mathematics – Sociology – Statistical physics – Statistics – Urban Planning – and more generally, any discipline dealing with spatial structures and dynamics.

Buckminster Fuller Institute 2014 Call for Proposals
SEARCH FOR COMPREHENSIVE DESIGN SOLUTIONS TO HUMANITY’S CRITICAL PROBLEMS
The Buckminster Fuller Institute formally announces the Call for Proposals to the 2014 Fuller Challenge. Recognized as “Socially-Responsible Design’s Highest Award”, the Challenge invites activists, architects, artists, designers, entrepreneurs, students and planners from all over the world to submit their innovative solutions to some of humanity’s most pressing problems. A $100,000 prize is awarded to support the development and implementation of one outstanding strategy. Entries will be accepted until April 11, 2014.
WINNING CRITERIA: IMPACTING 100%
Buckminster Fuller called for a design revolution to “to make the world work for 100% of humanity, in the shortest possible time, through spontaneous cooperation, without ecological offense or the disadvantage of anyone.” Answering this call is what the Fuller Challenge is all about.
Winning entries for the last six years have applied a rare combination of pragmatic, visionary, comprehensive and anticipatory thinking to tackling issues as broad as urban mobility, coastal restoration and innovation in biomaterials packaging. BFI has created an application process for entry to the Fuller Challenge in which global changemakers grapple deeply with a unique set of criteria. Internationally renowned jurors and reviewers look for whole systems strategies that integrate effectively with key social, environmental and economic factors impacting each design solution.
GROWING BENEFITS TO ENTRY
“The Challenge program has defined an emerging field of practice – the whole systems approach to understanding and solving the interrelated crises facing us. The entry criteria have established a new framework through which to identify and measure effective, enduring solutions to global sustainability’s most entrenched challenges,” said Elizabeth Thompson, Executive Director of The Buckminster Fuller Institute. “We are committed to further supporting this emergent field through our Catalyst Program, which provides much needed additional support to select initiatives: mentoring, pro-bono legal services, consideration for fiscal sponsorship, international press coverage, special invitations to present at conferences and exhibitions, and more! We partnered with Interface in 2013 to launch this program, and we could not be more gratified that we are able to continue its development in 2014.”
FORWARD ON THE CALL!
Are you or someone you know working on a holistic solution to make the world work for 100%? Read below for more information on what we are looking for, download the full Call for Proposals, and APPLY!
Deadline for entries is Friday, April 11, 2014, at 5pm EST.
