Industrial Ecology for a Sustainable Future Royal Institute of Technology Stockholm 12 - 15 June 2005 Welcome to Stockholm and the 3rd International Conference Industrial Ecology for a Sustainable Future The ISIE-2005 conference highlights the contributions that industrial ecology can make towards attaining a sustainable future for the planet and its population. The conference provides a forum to introduce theoretical advances and to discuss practical experience, to learn about IE modelling and to explore the human dimensions of applying IE in corporate, public policy, and consumer decision making. The conference in Stockholm 2005 is a major event in the history of Industrial Ecology. There has been an overwhelming response to the ISIE-2005 conference, which will guarantee an event of very high interest. The ISIE Governing Council, Organizing Committee, and Technical Committee, thank you for joining us at the ISIE-2005 conference. The conference will take place in the Swedish capital, Stockholm - a city built on 14 islands. Well-preserved medieval buildings stand alongside modern architecture. Stockholm is a city of contrasts – land and sea, history and innovation, a small town and a big city, and long, light summer evenings in June. All this leaves the visitor with a wonderful variety of impressions.
