EVENT HISTORY
At the time, we were all young researchers who, in addition to teaching, were also doing master’s and doctoral degrees. The group was made up of engineers, architects and designers, and what we had in common was the feeling that sustainability was a current issue, but that there was a lack of practical discussion on the subject that would meet the needs of people working on projects.
The perception was that the topic was treated in an overly conceptual way and that is why many did not take the issue seriously. In the projects, numerous relevant factors were considered at the most diverse stages: ergonomics, cost, market issues, aesthetics, target audience needs, etc. When the question was whether or not it was sustainable, the solution was to indicate that the materials used “could” be recycled, for example.
And in the middle of this discussion, someone brought up a call for proposals that FAPESC was launching to support scientific events. And then we had the idea: let’s hold an event to discuss this problem? An event where anyone who works with projects, whether they are engineers, architects, designers or any other profession, can come and talk about it, show what they are doing, and bring and take away information? An event that could serve both the academic and professional/business audiences?
Since then, ENSUS – Sustainability in Project Meeting has taken place in twelve editions, the first three (2007, 2008 and 2009) at Univali – University of Vale do Itajaí.
Coordinated in all editions by professors Lisiane Ilha Librelotto and Paulo Cesar Machado Ferroli, from 2016 onwards the event has always taken place at UFSC – Federal University of Santa Catarina, with editions in 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021.
In 2021, the event returned to UFSC, and in 2022 it was organized by Professor Cláudia
