Conference Description
The Industrial Ecology GRS provides a unique forum for young doctoral and post-doctoral researchers to present their work, discuss new methods, cutting edge ideas, and pre-published data, as well as to build collaborative relationships with their peers. Experienced mentors and trainee moderators will facilitate active participation in scientific discussion to allow all attendees to be engaged participants rather than spectators.
Early-career researchers, whether PhD candidates, postdocs or masters students are encouraged to apply to attend the GRS. At the GRS, attendees will share and learn about industrial ecology research as well as attending plenary sessions related to careers in industrial ecology. All attendees are required to present a poster; any topic related to industrial ecology is welcome.
Most plenary session presenters will be selected from submitted abstracts. Through the plenary sessions, we are interested in providing early-career researchers with opportunities to present and engage with impactful research. Themes for plenary sessions will include, but are not limited to: (a) Application-based research – key trends in interdisciplinary research methods and topics; and (b) Impacts beyond academia – Industrial Ecology work translated from literature to life. A mentorship panel discussion featuring invited external experts from academia and beyond will also highlight these themes and discuss key areas of exploration going forward.
An outline of the program components for this GRS is displayed below. The seminar chair is currently developing their detailed program schedule, which will include the speakers they select from submitted abstracts, in addition to any additional components outlined below. The detailed program will be available by March 26, 2024. Please check back for updates.
