The CircEUlar and CIRCOMOD teams are delighted to announce an opportunity to hear about their latest research and contribute to shaping the next phases of work. A stakeholder workshop will take place on Tuesday, September 17th, after lunch, from 13:00 at the House of Connections in Groningen, The Netherlands.

Our colleague, Isabel Pacheco, is doing her PhD research through CircEUlar. This workshop will address research insights from both a consumer and business perspective. We will explore what circularity means for mobility, living practices, household appliances, waste management, and business behaviours. Stakeholders from across industry, local government, and civil society will inform the research scope and contribute to the development of a toolkit for businesses to support further uptake of circular practices. 

Going forward, the stakeholder community will be further developed as a forum to present, discuss, and strengthen project outputs in an endeavour to co-create a shared vision for a European net-zero Circular Economy.
