The Industrial Symbiosis Research Symposium is targeted to researchers in this subfield of industrial ecology. The first symposium was sponsored by Yale University in 2004 (proceedings in PDF at http://environment.yale.edu/publication/series/industrial_ecology/) It has since been sponsored by the Nordic Council of Ministers in Stockholm in 2005, the National Industrial Symbiosis Programme and Advantage West Midlands in Birmingham, UK in 2006 and Dalhousie University School for Resource and Environmental Studies in Halifax, Nova Scotia last year.
A detailed program will be sent in April 2008. Please forward this mail to any colleagues who might be interested in the event as researchers in industrial symbiosis. If you have ideas while the plans are forming, please feel free to contact Peter Lowitt at MDFAPLowitt@Massdevelopment.com or me.
