Gordon Research
2008 Conference
Dear Colleagues, I want to let you know about the 2008 Gordon Research Conference (GRC) in Industrial Ecology, to be held at Colby-Sawyer College, New London, New Hampshire, USA, during August 17-22, 2008. The theme of this year's GRC is: Transforming the Use of Energy, Materials, Water, and Wastes. See the full program here.
Industrial Ecology is a highly interdisciplinary field that focuses on analysis and policy to promote sustainable production and consumption. Methodological approaches include economic input-output modeling, life-cycle assessment, material flow analysis, industrial symbiosis, design for environment, and integrated product policy. For more information, see: www.is4ie.org.
GRCs are unique among research conferences for their quality of content, relatively small size (100-120), diversity of participants, cutting-edge science often still unpublished, and a schedule allowing for extended discussion and informal interactions. Background on Gordon Conferences can be found at our website. Celebrating their 75th anniversary, GRCs are among the most prestigious research conferences in science and technology.
Applications are now open.
Application deadline: July 27, 2008
Poster sessions are an important part of a GRC: Submit poster abstracts to Reid Lifset. Proposal deadlines are in 2 rounds: March 30 and June 30.
Please contact me with any questions. I would be delighted to hear from you and to see you there!
