Conference Concept
ESTIEM's IEM Conference
Sustainability in IEM
9-10-11 March 2022
The purpose of IEM Conference is to gather students, professors, companies and universities for an open discussion about new trends and opportunities in the field of Industrial Engineering and Management. ESTIEM has many different partners at the European level, and one of the main goals of the association is to bring together all the stakeholders of the IEM Europe. Allowing all of this people to discuss the place and skills of the industrial engineer in tomorrow’s world: that’s why the IEM Conference was created.
After last year’s “IEM Conference: Breaking Down Industry 4.0” this year we bring “IEM Conference: Sustainability in IEM” this time organized by Local Group Lisbon.

Workshop - Sustainable Finance
As is well understood, public money alone won’t be enough to finance green transition. But how is it exactly that the finance sector can help to fill the funding gap? And how can one be sure that a ’green’ finance product truly is sustainable? This session introduces the concepts of green and sustainable finance and describes the different strategies, products and services used in it. Furthermore, the workshop presents ways in which each of us can personally contribute to green finance, and discusses the uncertainties and challenges involved in the field.

Workshop - Circular Economy
“Circular economy” – We are hearing these words more and more as environmental issues become more significant. But how to actually make circular business? What are the different approaches to circular economy, and what concrete examples exist? Which different business models are there? And what is Cradle-to-Cradle design, and how is it linked to circular economy? To get answers to these questions, and plenty of others, join this horizon broadening workshop!
