Transparency and Interdisciplinary Collaboration on Popular Approaches to the Environmental Crisis in a Critical Decade

The Gordon Research Seminar on Industrial Ecology is a unique forum for graduate students, post-docs, and other scientists with comparable levels of experience and education to present and exchange new data and cutting edge ideas.

This year's overarching topic are reflections of the challenges and emerging opportunities for young scholars moving towards more senior positions in industry, governments, NGOs and academia. A career panel with diverse speakers from various backgrounds will further explore these emerging opportunities. Contributions to the GRC from young scholars from all areas and topics of IE and beyond are welcome which explicitly cover one or more of the following aspects:

• Assuring transparency and reproducibility of complex quantifications and modelling exercises (LCA, IO, MFA,… ; using ODD protocols or other approaches)
• Work on interdisciplinary concepts and methods (interdisciplinary theory building, shared knowledge creation, participatory research, and so forth)
• Provide critical systemic evaluations on popular mainstream approaches to the critical decade, for example but not limited to, unconventional oil and gas, green growth, the sharing economy (uber, air bnb, …), the circular economy and the bio-economy, and so forth.
