In May a membership survey of the International Society for Industrial Ecology indicated large interest in new crosscutting sections and in particular one on Sustainable Circular Economy. As a consequence, a well-attended meeting was held at the Gordon Research Conference (GRC). Strong interest of those present in creating a new section was confirmed in this meeting. Four people volunteered and were appointed to take the lead in preparing the launch of this new section (organizing committee): Bhavik Bakshi (professor at Ohio State University), Dominik Wiedenhofer (research scientist at BOKU Vienna), Magnus Fröhling (professor at TU Munich) and Hannah Wang (PhD student at Yale). The organizing committee prepared the official proposal for the section formation, drafted a mission statement, a governance structure, and planned section activities. These were approved in the September meeting of the ISIE Board. Further information: https://is4ie.org/
