Thinking together - knowledge and practice.
At the heart of the transformative shift to a circular economy play universities and academic institutions a crucial role. Their involvement goes beyond educating students; these institutions serve as catalysts for change, fostering multi-actor collaborations, facilitating real-life practices, guiding students, and staying abreast of scientific developments. We collaborate with various institutions (refer to below) to guide and inspire students from all levels and study directions. We bring real-world scenarios to the classroom so students gain practical insights, learn about circular business models, and develop the critical thinking skills necessary for future decision-making. In addition, we involve institutions in business projects, as transitioning to a circular economy requires the collective effort of various stakeholders. Hence we create platforms for dialogue, knowledge exchange, and joint problem-solving.
