ISIE Americas 2016 meeting "Industrial Ecology and Green Transformation"

May 25-27, 2016
Universidad de los Andes (Uniandes),Bogotá, Colombia.
The ISIE venue will allow discussing the latest Industrial Ecology work by American and other world scholars, as well as search for ways to foster more sustainable industrial systems in Latin America’s emerging economies. Conference organizers include the UniAndes School of Management, which is a Latin America’s pioneer school addressing sustainable development management, and works closely with leading North American universities engaged in Industrial Ecology research. Also, the Yale University Center for Industrial Ecology, and the UN Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC). Leading IE researchers from Mexico, Costa Rica, Brazil, Chile and other Latin American countries will also be on hand.
