A lot of discussion has been initiated in policy forums regarding the transition from the traditional linear to a circular economic approach.
This Symposium provides an opportunity for those interested in any level of Circular Economy and Sustainability applications, from individual business or industrial zones to national, international or global policies that will make feasible the effective application of circular economy principles for achieving Sustainable Development. Researchers, practitioners and entrepreneurs are invited to submit both empirical and theoretical papers that are broadly consistent with any of the Symposium’s special topics. An ultimate goal will be to encourage researchers to examine the concepts of circular economy under a holistic scale approach.
A major innovation of this Symposium is the bridging of engineering, management and economic knowledge to support the effective advancement of circular and sustainability principles, bringing together theoretical, practical, applied and managerial knowledge in order to produce efficient policies. The School of Production Engineering and Management of the Technical University of Crete with the Department of Environmental Engineering, together with the Department of Economics and Sustainable Development of Harokopio University of Athens and prominent INFER, will support this interdisciplinary event.
