TEAM Special Issues

By /

The journal of EAIR, Tertiary Education And Management (TEAM), is seeking proposals for Special Issues of the journal. The topic of a Special Issue should be within the thematic scope of the journal, comprising: management, governance and organisation of higher education; teaching and learning in higher education; the academic profession and academic careers; higher education and the labour market; and institutional research in higher education. A Special Issue must advance the field of knowledge and be more than the sum of the parts – the articles must be woven together as a group with a central inquiry or purpose. A proposal for a Special Issue can have its base in actual work in progress, for instance based on conference papers on a certain topic of papers coming from a research project, but a close connection between the proposed articles is a necessity. 

A Special Issue should contain at least five, but preferably more articles. When submitting your proposal for a Special Issue, please include the following information: 

  1. The names of the Special Issue editors with concise CVs;
  2. The topic of the Special Issue (a 1-2 pages academic rationale for the topic and what it brings as added value to the existing literature);
  3. Names of the authors of papers with concise CVs; 
  4. Abstracts (100-200 words) of each of the papers. 

It helps a Special Issue proposal submission to have at least one or two full-length papers already prepared and sent with the proposal, though this is not mandatory.

Once approved, Special Issue papers are subject to the normal peer review process, albeit managed by the editors of the Special Issue. We invite you to suggest academics you think would be appropriate as reviewers for the Special Issue papers, including their email addresses. They can be added to the journal data base as reviewers.

Those wishing to seek further information are encouraged to contact the current Editor-in-Chief, Kurt De Wit.

Sustainable Travel Ideas for the EAIR Cork Forum

Travelling from Europe

Visitors from Europe can travel via Eurostar from Paris to London and from there by train to Wales and by boat to Dublin. Travellers can then take the train or bus to Cork. Alternatively, there is a daily boat connection from Roscoff or Calais (in Northern France) directly to Ringaskiddy, Cork.

Travelling from the UK

There are ways to travel to and from Ireland without flying, as there are train and bus services that link with ferry services across the Irish Sea which connect several ports in England, Wales and Scotland with Irish ferry ports of Rosslare, Dublin or Belfast with ongoing travel by car, bus or train. 

Cross County Rail Services

Where taking a flight is necessary, attendees are encouraged to consider direct flights to Ireland (Cork, Dublin) airports and to use cross country rail services where a direct flight to Cork is not possible.

Travel options in Cork

Cork is a city where active travel options are both available and encouraged – walking and cycling.  Visitors to Cork City can get a 3 day TFI bike subscription.

All accommodation options and EAIR Forum venues in Cork can be accessed easily by foot. 

Offsetting Travel Emissions

Forum attendees are invited to offset the unfavourable impact of air travel by combining attendance at the Cork forum with other meetings in Ireland, the UK and Europe. 

Forum attendees who wish to consider sustainable travel options may also wish to combine their attendance at the Cork EAIR Forum with their annual holiday and by so doing minimise the number of air flights taken in 2024.
