International Workshop on Circular Economy and Sustainability 2026
Monash Business School’s Department of Management invites you to our fourth International Workshop on Circular Economy and Sustainability, this year with the theme Ideation and Action for Circular Impacts.
This workshop will build on our successful previous workshops in 2023 and 2024 at the Monash University Prato Campus, and the 2025 workshop at the University of Bologna. Having established strong circular partnerships and capacity in our first three workshops, we will this year focus on identifying new avenues to advance circular transitions while continuing impactful programs from prior workshops.
