2013-05-23 An event entitled ‘Transdisciplinary Research on Sustainability in Europe: Generic Issues’ will be held from 23 to 24 May 2013 in Prague, Czech.

Major EU research programmes are calling for transdisciplinary research to address joined up and complex problems – particularly in the area of sustainability. Whilst there is an emphasis on the dissemination of substantive results from funded projects, there is less attention to the sharing of the experiences and lessons learnt from project processes, problems, issues and strategies developed for dealing with these. Gathering such information would not only help share and reflect on issues of Transdisciplinary Research for Sustainability (TDRS) including methodology and management, but it would also be an opportunity to contribute to recommendations to the European Research Area (ERA) for the further development of research capacity on TDRS.

This event will be hosted by the CONVERGE EU FP7 research project and Charles University Environment Center together with the COPERNICUS Alliance. It will allow for an international exchange of knowledge and will investigate how the Convergence and MOSUR approaches, tools and concepts might inform and link with agendas in TDRS. Discussion will be focused on developing recommendations for the ERA and provide more productive TDRS.

2013-05-21 An event entitled ‘Magnesium Workshop Madrid 2013′Agriculture’ will be held from 21 to 24 May 2013 in Madrid, Spain.

In order to significantly reduce the environmental burdens in modern society, lightweight metals and alloys play an increasingly important role because of their high strength and stiffness, corrosion resistance, and recyclability. Among them, magnesium (Mg), aluminum (Al), and titanium (Ti) alloys are widely utilized to manufacture structural components in aircraft, automotive, marine, electronics, and construction industries.

To meet the need for a reduction of energy consumption, the industry has pushed light-weighting technologies and research efforts related to improving Mg – the lightest of all structural metals – to the forefront. Although a great deal of progress has been made in our understanding of the deformation behavior of Mg alloys, a rigorous knowledge of the transitions leading to changes in the dominant deformation mode is still lacking along with how to control the microstructure in order to optimize the mechanical behavior.

The workshop will provide a forum for researchers, industry and markets to exchange information on the present state of things and future opportunities.

2013-05-19 The Third International Conference on Environment and Industrial Innovation (ICEII 2013) will be held from 19 to 20 May 2013 in Copenhagen, Denmark.

The environmental problems currently facing advanced industrial countries are not new, and will continue to grow if nothing is done. Some people believe that regulation can help to address these problems, while at the same time make industry more competitive. Others however believe that innovation, which is central to industrial development, should not be hampered, and that solutions to environmental issues can be best answered by industry. What is not in doubt is that the scale of development seen in the last few decades cannot continue at its current pace without adapting, due to diminishing natural resources and the impact on the environment.

This event will bring together researchers, academics and industrial experts in order to exchange and promote research and developmental activities.

2013-05-21 An event entitled ‘Magnesium Workshop Madrid 2013′Agriculture’ will be held from 21 to 24 May 2013 in Madrid, Spain.

In order to significantly reduce the environmental burdens in modern society, lightweight metals and alloys play an increasingly important role because of their high strength and stiffness, corrosion resistance, and recyclability. Among them, magnesium (Mg), aluminum (Al), and titanium (Ti) alloys are widely utilized to manufacture structural components in aircraft, automotive, marine, electronics, and construction industries.

To meet the need for a reduction of energy consumption, the industry has pushed light-weighting technologies and research efforts related to improving Mg – the lightest of all structural metals – to the forefront. Although a great deal of progress has been made in our understanding of the deformation behavior of Mg alloys, a rigorous knowledge of the transitions leading to changes in the dominant deformation mode is still lacking along with how to control the microstructure in order to optimize the mechanical behavior.

The workshop will provide a forum for researchers, industry and markets to exchange information on the present state of things and future opportunities.

2013-05-23 An event entitled ‘Transdisciplinary Research on Sustainability in Europe: Generic Issues’ will be held from 23 to 24 May 2013 in Prague, Czech.

Major EU research programmes are calling for transdisciplinary research to address joined up and complex problems – particularly in the area of sustainability. Whilst there is an emphasis on the dissemination of substantive results from funded projects, there is less attention to the sharing of the experiences and lessons learnt from project processes, problems, issues and strategies developed for dealing with these. Gathering such information would not only help share and reflect on issues of Transdisciplinary Research for Sustainability (TDRS) including methodology and management, but it would also be an opportunity to contribute to recommendations to the European Research Area (ERA) for the further development of research capacity on TDRS.

This event will be hosted by the CONVERGE EU FP7 research project and Charles University Environment Center together with the COPERNICUS Alliance. It will allow for an international exchange of knowledge and will investigate how the Convergence and MOSUR approaches, tools and concepts might inform and link with agendas in TDRS. Discussion will be focused on developing recommendations for the ERA and provide more productive TDRS.
