Dear SEM Section members,
In collaboration with the IO section, we are happy to announce the 9th session of the ISIE Socioeconomic Metabolism Section perpetual online conference: “Progress in modelling the socio-economic metabolism - combining material flow principles and input-output analysis”
The goal of this session is to discuss recent research which utilizes novel and innovative cross-fertilizations between material flow analysis and input-output analysis. Assessments of the socio-economic metabolism of economies or regions are increasingly being connected to upstream and downstream supply chains and to material stocks. These are becoming ever more crucial for understanding and shaping the trajectories and prospects for sustainability transformations, making novel combinations and cross-fertilizations between methods and approaches an increasingly important research frontier.
With this session, we therefore aim to bring together researchers combining MFA and IO, to discuss methodological and conceptual progress for long-standing and emerging topics of the sustainability debate. The session is co-chaired by Dr. Dominik Wiedenhofer and Dr. Tomer Fishman, board members of the IO and SEM sections of the International Society for Industrial Ecology.
