Are you ready to break boundaries and build bridges for a truly circular future?
Join us at the 8th Workshop of the Dutch Academic Network of Circular Economy (DAN-CE), hosted this year by Circular Economy Twente (CEP Twente), for a dynamic gathering focused on unlocking cross-sectoral and multi-stakeholder collaborations essential for scaling up the circular economy transition at regional level.
Under the theme “Crossing the borders through circularity”, accelerating collaboration and upscaling impact, this workshop aims to explore the vital interconnections between industries—such as construction, energy, chemicals, bio-based materials, electric-electronics, critical raw materials, and beyond— and among multiple stakeholders (academia, companies, policy-makers, etc.). The focus is on how collaboration across value chains and sectors can enable the upscaling of systemic circular innovation, moving from pilot initiatives to broader, structural impact across regions.
This event is hosted by: Circular Economy Platform Twente (ceptwente@utwente.nl) and Horizon Europe project “Sustainable Circular Economy Transition: from Industrial Symbiosis to Hubs for Circularity – IS2H4C”.
For who?
This workshop is open to academics, industry professionals, policymakers, and students working on or interested in circular economy.
What to expect?
Gain insights from leading researchers, practitioners, and policy-makers on the systems-level perspective needed to move from isolated circular practices to interconnected industrial ecosystems at regional level.
Engage in focused discussions in break-out rooms dedicated to key domains:
- Regional circular hubs from various regions in the Netherlands
- Education innovation for circular economy
- Business aspects for circular start-ups
- Research aspects
- Engagement of applied science universities in circular ecosystems
Why attend?
- Exchange ideas with national experts in circular economy.
- Strengthen academic-industry-policy linkages.
- Be part of a growing national network making impact across sectors.
- Let’s build a future where circularity knows no boundaries!
Note: the final agenda of the event will follow soon.
