Shifting Mindsets: Building Ethical Circularity Together
This year's conference brings together industry and academia by moving beyond current trends in renewable and recyclable materials, examining circular design from a holistic, systems-level, and more-than-human perspective.
Rather than limiting the discussion to material composition alone, it will address other key considerations in the development of new materials, such as energy and time efficiency, as well as advances in machine development. Focusing on thoughtful and ethical approaches, we will explore the integration of material innovations into real-world applications through pilot projects and prototyping.
At the core of the conference is showcasing authentic synergy and working methods that generate mutual value and uncover new avenues for collaboration between academia and industry.
A modest fee – €30 per day, €50 for both days, or €10 for online attendance – helps maintain the high standards of the conference while supporting ethical innovation, academic-to-industry collaboration, and the growth of circular businesses.
