On 22 November, the CE Center holds its hybrid closing event in Leuven and online, together with ministers Hilde Crevits and Zuhal Demir. We present the results of 5 years of research and launch the online Circular Economy Monitor for Flanders.
Hans Bruyninckx, head of the European Environmental Agency gives us the European perspective.
In the afternoon we offer academic breakout sessions to explore our themes in depth.
The Circular Economy Policy Research Centre investigates three important policy questions:
The policy research centre has been organised as a cluster of research projects in order to answer these questions. Each of the projects has a particular perspective to better understand and shape circular economy as a system. Besides our work on theory and on finding ways to answer these general questions, we will also conduct tangible case studies.
How can we measure where we are in the transition?
How can we clarify the environmental impacts of activities in the circular economy?
How can we help consumers and businesses make the shift towards a circular economy?
How can we compare the extent to which products fit in a circular economy?
