Background and purpose

The International Society of Industrial Ecology (ISIE) is a research community delivering interdisciplinary research on policy relevant questions that address both industrial systems and the environment. The MFA ConAccount Section of ISIE provides a community of practice for socio-economic metabolism research and enables such research.

The main theme

We invite researchers and practitioners to a meeting discussing advancement of methods for analyzing the dynamics of physical interactions between socio-economic-environment systems and their drivers on multiple scales, as well as applying those methods on issues of strategic relevance for governments, industry and societal stakeholders.

Conference location

The conference location is the Technical University Darmstadt, one of Germany‘s top-three technical universities. The university is situated in the city of Darmstadt, which is located in the heart of Germany, just 30km away from the metropolis Frankfurt/Main and just 20 minutes from the international airport Frankfurt/Rhein-Main.
