Time to Share: Circular Economics
This new meeting will bring together experts and researchers to discuss the role of circular Economics as a transformative axis in different core topic sectors, from construction and energy transition to waste management, the use of raw materials and the legal framework that supports it. Through presentations and project presentations, the main challenges and opportunities in this field will be analyzed, as well as the initiatives underway at both regional and European level.
"Time to Share" is an initiative of the Office of the Vice President for Research and Sustainability that aims to generate meetings between theresearcher staff of the University, who address the same research concern from different approaches, fostering new collaborations and synergies.
Circular Economics represents a fundamental path towards more efficient, resilient and environmentally friendly production models, and this session is an opportunity to learn about the research being carried out at the University with complementary approaches from science, technology and current rules and regulations
During the workshop , experiences such as the Bioma and Navarra Zirkular projects will be presented, the impact of circular Economics on industry and the construction sector will be addressed, and technological solutions for a more efficient management of resources will be shared. There will also be a space for joint reflection in a final colloquium .
