1510 – 1620		The Future of Education in Industrial Ecology:
		This session will discuss needed industrial ecology education strategies for the next 10-20 years. We will focus on what the core contributions of industrial ecology education should be, going forward in relation to other educations. As the general interest in transforming our society towards a sustainable direction increases, our options for interfaces with other educations and disciplines must also be explored.
