2nd “Sino-Europa Resources Forum” Call for Abstract

Sino-Europa Resources Forum (SEARF) is a non-profit organization for sharing knowledge and facilitating communication and collaboration on addressing resource and environmental challenges in China, Europe, and beyond. SEARF was initiated jointly by a group of scholars in China and Europe in 2017. It aims to provide a lively platform across disciplines (e.g., engineering, economics, geography, and management), regions (e.g., China and Europe), and stakeholder groups (e.g., academia, industry, and policymakers) to help resolve resource and environmental issues of China and the world.
The inaugural Sino-Europa Resources Forum was held in Odense, Denmark, in September 2017. The 2018 Forum will be held in Heidelberg, Germany, on 9-10 August, 2018. The Forum is organized by SEARF and China Society of Natural Resources, and hosted by German-Chinese Academic Center. The forum will include invited keynote talks, thematic presentations, and group discussions.
