WISE Public Lecture Series - Forest Bioenergy in Ontario: Examining the Life Cycle Impacts and Costs of Using Harvest Residue as Feedstock for Small- and Large-Scale Bioenergy Systems
The Canadian Plastics Industry Association (CPIA) teamed up with WISE and the University of Waterloo to host the third annual, invitation-only Resource Recovery Partnership Workshop on Thursday, June 23, 2016.
The day focused on the relationship between academia, government, and industry. Workshop participants debated and deliberated on ways of improving the working relationship between these critical sectors and shared ideas and insight about how collaboration will lead to improved waste policy and planning.
The seventh ACM International Conference on Future Energy Systems (ACM e-Energy) aimed to be the premier venue for researchers working in the broad areas of computing and communication for smart energy systems, and in energy-efficient computing and communication systems.
By bringing together researchers in a high-quality single-track conference with significant opportunities for individual and small-group interaction, this event served as a major forum for presentations and discussions to shape the future of this area. It was hosted by Lukasz Golab and Srinivasan Keshav et al.
