The shift from a linear to a circular society is not a choice—it’s a necessity. Our current patterns of production and consumption drive resource depletion, climate change, pollution, and biodiversity loss, while also deepening social inequality and geopolitical dependence. We need bold, collaborative action to turn things around.
About the Conference
This conference is a call to all idealistic changemakers, unconventional thinkers, and fearless collaborators who dare to do things differently. Science and society must join forces to create real impact. Through co-creation and action-oriented collaboration, we will work on transitions in two urgent themes:
- Circular Safe Hospitals – Rethinking healthcare sustainability
- Urban-Rural Circularity – Closing loops between cities and countryside
During the conference you will engage in knowledge sessions and we invite you to prepare project proposals in pressure cookers sessions for our Seed Funding programme.
