Description of the sessions
Industrial Ecology (IE ) roundtable:
During this session we will discuss the following questions: What is an Industrial Ecologist? What does an Industrial Ecologist? What is the role of an Industrial Ecologist in the future? After actively participating in the IE roundtable you hopefully have a better understanding of the role of an Industrial Ecologist and how to explain the concept of Industrial Ecology to those not familiar with our field. Furthermore, the results of the discussion will serve as an input for the EMNIE vision being incorporated into the by-law.
Professional café:

In line with the World Café Method you can ask them all sorts of questions, whatever is on your mind when you are thinking about your post-student life: What are possible career pathways for an Industrial Ecologist? What kind of questions will I be dealing with during my professional career? What are the main challenges and opportunities I will face? How can I prepare myself for the time after graduation?
Work fair:
Meet and greet companies being familiar with the concept of Industrial Ecology. Make use of the possibility to discuss with representatives from industry: What are companies already doing for contributing to sustainable development? Where do they see the opportunities for the future? How can industry and academia accelerate Industrial Ecology? What kind of job possibilities are there for an Industrial Ecologist?
