This year's conference brings together industry and academia by moving beyond current trends in renewable and recyclable materials, examining circular design from a holistic, systems-level, and more-than-human perspective. 

Rather than limiting the discussion to material composition alone, it will address other key considerations in the development of new materials, such as energy and time efficiency, as well as advances in machine development. Focusing on thoughtful and ethical approaches, we will explore the integration of material innovations into real-world applications through pilot projects and prototyping.

At the core of the conference is showcasing authentic synergy and working methods that generate mutual value and uncover new avenues for collaboration between academia and industry.

For the first time, a participation fee will apply: €30 per day, €50 for both days, or €10 for online attendance to help turn academic projects into real, ethical circular businesses and support industry growth through university innovations and teamwork.

Tracks of Thursday:
Track1: Synergy with Flora and Fauna
Track2: Circular Seeds

Tracks of Friday:
Track3: Linking Academy and Industry
Track4: Circular Scalability

Workshops' info are coming soon!
