Let's shape the circular economy of tomorrow together!
The Scientific Area Network offers the perfect platform for networking with researchers working in the field of circular economy within the DRESDEN-concept alliance, discussing current research findings, and jointly setting new impulses for a resource-efficient future.
Connect. Exchange. Create. Kick-off on September 9, 2025 und Follow-ups
The kick-off took place in September 2025 with the following program. Researchers from DRESDEN-concept institutions presented their research on the topic of circular economy in five slides in five minutes. These short pitches gave participants an initial overview of current research in Dresden, which is not yet complete.
The SAN will therefore continue as planned with follow-ups, during which working groups will be formed to pursue various goals, such as establishing a lecture series or preparing joint project proposals.
