Circular Economy

CIRCULAR ECONOMY THEMATIC INTEREST GROUP

Description of Thematic Interest Group:

The circular economy is a production and consumption model involving sharing, leasing, reusing, repairing, refurbishing, and recycling existing materials and products as long as possible. In practice, it implies reducing waste to a minimum [1].

In the aforementioned context, the Circular Economy Thematic Interest Group (CE-TIG) aims to contribute to a sustainable future in an interdisciplinarity environment within the STARS EU initiative. This will be done by designing different ways of cooperation among members, namely joint research and educational initiatives and projects, which will comprise knowledge and best practices sharing and active mobility of staff and students.

Information about our TIG including the goals and objectives

This newly founded TIG met in November 2022 for the first time and is only starting to organise itself. Even though „Living Spaces“ was initiated from the fields of civil engineering and architecture, we intend to be as open as possible regarding academic fields and disciplines, and invite all teachers and researchers, who are involved in addressing issues of how and where people live, how they organise their mobility, leisure time, etc. The following picture gives an overview on who could join.
