La edición 2020 de la conferencia Basque Ecodesign Meeting reunirá a especialistas de diseño industrial de producto de toda Europa para analizar las implicaciones que está teniendo la transición a un modelo económico circular para la industria en Europa y debatir sobre las oportunidades de negocio y mejora de la competitividad empresarial que este modelo ofrece. Durante dos jornadas dirigidas a la empresa y la industria  se abordarán  temas cómo: Servitización, Diseño ambiental de producto, obsolescencia programada y percibida, ecodiseño, ecoinnovación, economía circular, industria verde 4.0, análisis de ciclo de vida, declaración ambiental de producto, remanufactura, sistemas de servicio de productos.

Marine Design 2020 will return to provide a forum for reporting and discussing Marine Design practice and technical innovation, including Human Systems Integration. Marine Design is a holistic design process with a strong focus on the end users as well as stakeholders in the design process, based on the principles of Industrial Design. Effective Marine Design requires a multidisciplinary design team of Naval Architects, Industrial Designers, Human Factors specialists, Environmental Psychologists and Interior Designers. The start of the Marine Design process involves understanding the personas and needs of the end user. The aim of Marine Design is to improve the aesthetics, human factors and functionality of a vessel or system, and its' marketability. Human Systems Integration provides a through-life, integrative framework with the potential both to enhance safety and increase performance while reducing through life costs.

Although the conference will have a focus on the superyacht, cruise and offshore sectors (offshore wind), it is recognized that cross-sectorial innovation is critical to the development of Design-Driven Innovation as a process. Therefore, the conference will explore innovative approaches from across all marine design sectors, including the dialectic between luxury design in the superyacht and cruise sectors, and the utilitarian design approach of both the offshore sector and conventional marine transport system design, while reflecting upon the needs of the end user. This will include themes around the concept of sustainable luxury, and the Transfer of Innovation (TOI) from the superyacht sector to the mainstream, to support the expanding needs of water based public transport, as well as the recruitment challenges of the offshore wind farm industry. Such challenges represent an opportunity for Marine Design to enhance the design, user experience and provide innovative solutions, resulting in competitive advantage through product differentiation.

The key papers of the conference will be published in a special edition of the International Journal of Marine Design (IJMD), Part C of the Transactions of The Royal Institution of Naval Architects. The conference will present technical papers, on several aspects of Marine Design, including: 

• Design Visualisation (including design methodologies, design practice, innovative concepts, design analysis tools, Computer Aided Design), TOI (Transfer of Innovation) from other industry sectors).
• Marine Transport System Design (including design methodologies, design practice, innovative concepts, design analysis tools, Computer Aided Design), TOI (Transfer of Innovation) from other industry sectors).
• Human System Integration (including HFE (Human Factors Engineering), Maritime Security, UCD (User Centred Design) methodologies, Emotional Design methodologies, Empathic Design methodologies, TOI (Transfer of Innovation) from other industry sectors). Bridge design and navigational training and simulation are included in this category.
• Sustainability in construction (including one-off construction and series production issues, facility design, materials, joining technologies, reconstructions and rebuilds of historic craft, results of simulation).
• Sustainability in operation (including, equipment, results of sea trials, results of instrumentation, results of simulation, TOI (Transfer of Innovation) from other industry sectors).
• Implementation of regulations in the design process (including international, national, and regional regulatory frameworks, classification, codes of practice, rating rules).
• Virtual work/learning environments (including, CPD for marine designers, networking opportunities for innovation and exchange, virtual work environments to facilitate multi-disciplinary, multinational teams).

II Congreso Iberoamericano sobre Educación Ambiental para la Sustentabilidad 

Los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible marcan una nueva meta para reducir la desigualdad y mejorar la calidad de vida de los habitantes de la Tierra. En ellos se incluyen las respuestas a los nuevos desafíos ambientales, que han evolucionado desde los Objetivos del Milenio, en los que la sostenibilidad ocupaba solamente uno de los ocho propuestos, hacia una visión más integrada que abarca ahora, al menos, la mitad de los Objetivos descritos.

Ninguna política puede salir significativamente adelante si no la acompaña una ciudadanía concienciada, y esta realidad es la que la educación ambiental aspira a conseguir. Revisaremos cómo está interviniendo y qué se espera de la educación ambiental para que en 2030 los Objetivos hayan alcanzado su pleno cumplimiento. Porque medio ambiente y justicia social van indisolublemente unidos, no entendiéndose ninguna propuesta de futuro que olvide cualquiera de ambas dimensiones.

También queremos presentar experiencias prácticas de educación ambiental, consicentes del papel sensibilizador que representan. Experiencias que se ofrezcan a otros compañeros e instituciones para enriquecer el universo de recursos que nos permita avanzar en esa visión integradora entre lo local y lo global.

Y, por último, la realización de este Congreso quiere celebrar los 25 años de existencia de nuestra Asociación, un instrumento ya veterano que, a lo largo de sus diferentes etapas, ha llevado la educación ambiental a diferentes lugares de toda nuestra geografía a través de cursos, talleres, publicaciones o jornadas. Un nuevo momento para poner nuestra entidad al servicio de todos los que creemos en un profundo cambio a través de los valores, la cultura y el horizonte de un nuevo modelo convivencial y armonioso entre todos los seres que conforman la vida en el planeta.
