TRACK 1INNOVATIVE VALUE CHAINS FOR SUSTAINABLE PROCESS INDUSTRYThe European industry faces a crucial challenge to rejuvenate in order to become more competitive and sustainable at the same time, and lead to European growth and jobs. New value chains where know-ledge on chemistry, materials and energy are combined as an integrated sustainable solution are a key innovation in this context. As major contributor to sustainability tar-gets, this interactive field is the focal point in this session. > Organised by VITO in collaboration with Energyville

TRACK 2REGIONAL SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTThis track focuses on the use of integrated modelling, and more in particular systems dynamics inspired models, in support of decision-making and planning aimed at sustainable development. In this track we will involve participants in a participatory model supported envisioning process. Through this interactive process we will take a next step in learning how this kind of approach can be instrumental in defining and testing (policy) visions as well as supporting and concretely realizing transition pathways to sustainable development.> Organised by VITO
