We would like to invite you to submit an article to this issue, and we are particularly interested in your work on the innovation dynamics of SMEs.
All the articles submitted to this special issue will be reviewed by the guest editors, and two external referees. Submission to the Special Issue does not automatically guarantee acceptance, all articles will be reviewed in respect to the standards, aims and scope of this Special Issue and the Journal.

If revisions are required, the final, accepted version of the article must be received by us by 30 November 2015. Please, let us know as soon as possible if you are interested in submitting to this issue.
Please, see the “Instructions for Authors” tab on the journal’s website (www.tandfonline/ceps) for details on how the manuscript should be presented.

16th International Conference Rural-Urban Symbiosis
8 – 10 September 2015
Hamburg University of Technology
Hamburg, Germany
Dear Colleague,
Due to high interest and many requests, abstract submission has been extended to 15 January 2015.
Agriculture produces bioresources for food and increasingly also for material and energy provision. The majority of agro-products are used in urban areas where they are connected with waste and wastewater generation.
On the one hand, these residues are actually disposed or inefficiently treated, on the other they have value for agricultural production.
RAMIRAN 2015 is focusing on closing the loop linking rural production and urban consumption systems and on the development of more sustainable solutions for the handling of residues.
Thematic areas
•Fertilizers from residues
•Soils for the future
•Advances in emission prevention
•The bioresource challenge
•Agro-products for the biobased economy
•Smart concepts for rural development
•Towards zero waste settlements
•Rural-urban sustainability cases studies world wide
Abstract submission
