Successful industrial symbiosis meeting in Kalundborg

Hello Everyone

I have just found some pictures that are being uploaded from industrial symbiosis symposium held in Kalundborg, Denmark. Although I was not lucky to be able to attend, it appears to have been a successful event. We will have an update from the symposium by one of the members shortly.

In the mean time you can have a glimpse of the pictures from the meeting by clicking here

Also I will return shortly with more details of the next IS symposium which is kindly hosted by Professor Fujita in Japan next year.

Any thoughts and/or updates from anyone attended the symposium this year would be much appreciated.

Regards

Abhi
