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.
