Part of my plan for pursuing my interest in environmental issues while working in healthcare has been to attend relevant conferences. *Finding and identifying* relevant conferences is much harder than it sounds. I was searching for months with little success. But today, googling has brought me a much better solution (note, I think this must be a new site. Google was previously tried). <\/p>\n
There are several interesting conferences I’ve culled from http:\/\/www.allconferences.com\/ A week from tomorrow there’s a conference in DC on policy and science. In late november\/early december, there’s a conference on industrial ecology in Lusanne Switzerland. At the end of January, there’s a conference on planning an the environment in Mumbai, India. And starting July 8th, of 2007, there’s a week long meeting on greenhouse gases in Kingston, Ontario. <\/p>\n
Then there’s this enormous list of sustainable development themed conferences all over the world: http:\/\/www.conferencealerts.com\/sustain.htm The day after I’m scheduled to leave NYC, there’s a conference on corporate response to climate change. November 4th, there’s a conference on starting environmental enterprises and organizations, also held in NYC. A year from now, there’s a green building conference in LA (it also happens to be in denver one week after I’m out there for GAO training, this year in november) <\/p>\n
Of course there’s the US’s energy policy conference (themed around fossil fuels, how shocking). There’s also a European Renewable Energy Policy conference at the end of january (same time as the Mumbai urban environmental issues conference). <\/p>\n
So much to choose from… I will have to budget my financial resources, as well as my time for these. I could easily blow all of one or both going to half the stuff that interests me. And sadly, since I’m on the healthcare team, I can’t put any of these down for GAO time or money. <\/p>\n
I’m not even sure where to start on the potential journals I could get. I don’t know how much time I’m willing to spend reading them. And my interests are not well enough formed to know which ones I’d want to get. But this is a definite starting point.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
