International Workshop on Circular Economy and Sustainability 2024
A major challenge for organisations not yet on the circularity journey is developing the necessary capabilities, and engaging their major customers and suppliers in this initiative.
Our three-day workshop will comprise presentations from partner institutions, panel discussion sessions, keynotes, and roundtable discussion sessions giving organisations the valuable information they need to start adopting Circular Economy (CE) systems.
Leading researchers and research groups will share their current research and future plans for advancing both theoretical and practical CE knowledge.
This is our second International Workshop on Circular Economy and Sustainability, with our inaugural CES workshop in June 2023 a highly successful event.
Eight universities partnered to hold the 2023 workshop at the Monash Prato Centre (Italy), with more than 50 leading academic experts, industry leaders, and local government representatives coming together to discuss circularity and sustainability in depth.
At this year’s event we will continue building the alliances and partnerships started at our 2023 workshop, enabling collaboration on joint research projects, industry engagement, grant funding applications, and publications.
