In view of the ecological stress limits of our planet, the consumption of natural resources is still too high, especially in the industrialized countries. Thus, one of the global sustainability goals is to create a shift toward sustainable production and consumption patterns. The circular economy offers a great opportunity to achieve this goal. Its innovative approaches are already being implemented in companies.
The fourth “Meet the Circular Economy” lecture series will once again invite companies (global players, medium-sized companies, but also SMEs and start-ups from the region) to discuss innovative sustainability concepts in corporate and product development with students. They will report first-hand on the opportunities and challenges involved in developing and establishing circular and bio-based processes. The lecture is open to the public; anyone interested is welcome to attend.
Innovation Challenge for students
The lecture series will be followed by an Innovation Challenge for the second time. All speakers will set tasks for the students that deal with current challenges being faced by their companies. On July 8, the student teams present their solutions and are evaluated by a jury.
