Student

the field of industrial ecology. The projects that students
work on are innovative and on the cutting edge of the field.

main Homepage.
A bit
of history
The "formal" ISIE Student Chapter was initiated
at the Gordon Conference in June 2002, thanks to the interest
of the students, and the support of many - including John
Ehrenfeld, David Allen, etc. Due to the fact that students
in the field of IE are dispersed around the world, there
is a need for us to have a 'home' for communication among
our peers. We need to form a community for ourselves, understand
how broad of a field IE is by learning from each other's
research, collaborate together on papers, hold discussions
on topics, and very importantly, have a place that provides
networking.
