IECO Days 2020



During 10th and 11th of December IECO successfully hosted a virtual Scientific and Innovation event on Eco-Industrial Development with over 70 researchers from the IECO Partner Universities as well as with numerous strategic partners and supporters. 


We want to thank all of our participants and specially all of our speakers and panellists for your attendance, your interests, your questions and the great IECO spirit!


On December 10th, there were scientific workshops around the four main Topics of IECO (established topic teams) plus a general informative session for those who were new to the project (newcomers).  On December 11th, it’s was all about Innovation. There was a very interesting presentation as well as a very active round table discussion as well. Below is the complete program of the event.
