The Student Chapter of International Society for Industrial Ecology (ISIE) is pleased to announce the second Symposium on Industrial Ecology for Young Professionals (SIEYP II). This symposium is specifically designed for young professionals, including graduate students and post-doctoral researchers. The primary goal of this symposium is to provide an opportunity for young professionals who perform research in the area of industrial ecology (IE) to present their ongoing research, receive constructive feedback, and network with senior professionals in their fields. In particular, the event will enable young professionals to establish a network of IE researchers for ongoing exchange and future collaborations.
The symposium, held at the University of California, Berkeley on June 11, 2011 immediately follows the International Society for Industrial Ecology conference (ISIE 2011) at the same location. The symposium is free of charge.

A conference program with authors’ name and presentation titles will be posted on ISIE Student Chapter website.

Young professionals all over the world are invited to submit papers describing research, applications, tools, and case studies addressing the issues in the field of IE.
