U!REKA Networking Cafe: Circular Economy
EventThe U!REKA Research Support Working Group kindly invites experts to share presentations and discussions around the topic of the Circular Economy. Join us virtually, on 14 November!
The European Commission adopted the new circular economy action plan (CEAP) in March 2020. It is one of the main building blocks of the European Green Deal, Europe’s new agenda for sustainable growth. The EU’s transition to a circular economy will reduce pressure on natural resources and will create sustainable growth and jobs. It is also a prerequisite to achieve the EU’s 2050 climate neutrality target and to halt biodiversity loss.
The goal of the meeting is to get more familiar with the focused research and innovation expertise U!REKA partners have around the topic of Circular Economy and to discuss concrete research cooperation possibilities in the U!REKA SHIFT EUI alliance and in other available EU funding possibilities.
Each U!REKA partner institution has a possibility to present 1-2 RDI focus areas /platforms/ centres/ research groups that have expertise in Circular Economy.
Instructions for presentations
Each U!REKA partner institution has altogether 5 minutes to present 1-2 RDI focus areas/platforms/centres/groups related to the topic. Please prepare a presentation of max 5 slides with a short introduction to the relevant RDI field, its‘ objectives and results, methods and external partners.
