It is not intended to replace our biannual section conferences.

We’d love to receive your comments and answer any questions you may have – metabolism@is4ie.org

We look forward to meeting you at the second session of the ISIE Socioeconomic Metabolism perpetual online conference!

Best regards,

The SEM section board
