Academia
ISL has strong links with the world’s academic community. It played host to the Third International Industrial Symbiosis Research Symposium in 2006, the first to be hosted outside the academic community. ISL works closely with universities across the globe, including Yale, Boston, Surrey, Birmingham Robert Gordon to ensure that theory and practice develop hand in hand.

ISL's flagship programme the National Industrial Symbiosis Programme (NISP) is registered as part of an Engineering Doctorate Programme at the University of Surrey.

Research and Development within NISP is supported through involvement with the Environmental Technology Engineering Doctorate (EngD) Programme at the University of Surrey and the work of two NISP based EngD students; David Cobbledick and Paul Jensen. The EngD work is being conducted under the project titles 'Multi-Criteria Decision Support for Industrial Symbiosis Development' (David Cobbledick) and 'Incorporating Industrial Symbiosis into Regional Resource Planning' (Paul Jensen). Financial support for this is provided jointly by the UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and NISP.
