The International Conference "Circular Economy: Opportunities and Challenges"

The International Conference "Circular Economy: Opportunities and Challenges"

Among its scientific priorities, Danubius University includes topics related to climate change, environmental protection, renewable energy sources or the circular economy, being actively involved in terms of scientific research in the field.

On November 17-18, 2022, Danubius University will host online the International Conference "Circular Economy: Opportunities and Challenges".

The conference with the theme "Circular Economy: Opportunities and Challenges" is another occasion in this sense, through which our university asserts itself in this highly relevant scientific area today.

The event is carried out within the Central European Initiative by collaborating with a number of important academic partners from the Balkan and Central European area, such as the University of Tirana (Albania), the University of Life Sciences (Czech Republic), the University of Kielce (Poland), University of Dubrovnik (Croatia), University of Agriculture in Nitra (Slovakia), University of Rzeszow (Poland), "Dzemal Bijedic" University in Mostar (Bosnia and Herzegovina), University of National and World Economy (Bulgaria), University of Tuzla ( Bosnia and Herzegovina) and the University of Tetovo (North Macedonia).

Prof. univ. dr. habil. Florian Nuţă, the vice-rector for research activity and quality assurance at Danubius University, told us: "We enjoy the traditional collaboration we have with a number of partners within this conference and we are pleased to open new opportunities for cooperation in the Balkans and Central Europe region. The theme of this conference is among the strategic priorities in the field of research within our university, there are already concrete results in this sense in the form of publications and ongoing research projects. The national and European development objectives are closely related to this area. Topics such as "Business models in the circular economy", "Green finance", "Smart solutions in the context of climate change", "Renewable energy sources", "Green marketing" or "Processes and technologies regarding materials with a low carbon footprint", these are just some of the themes of the conference, which cover a wide scientific area (Economy, ICT, Engineering, Ecology). In the context of the global environmental crisis (climate change, loss of biodiversity and pollution), events of this kind are not only aimed at finding solutions and proposing concrete measures of action, but also have a social role to improve awareness of the problems environmental issues we face as a global society."

CEI members aim at rethinking the way of producing and consuming by adopting a circular approach, which overall can improve both the environment and the competitiveness of enterprises.

In this scenario, leading academic scientist, researchers and practitioners and policymakers are called to share their research results on challenges and opportunities of implementing circular economy and to design and implement circular economy strategies.

The International Conference on Circular Economy serves as a multiplatform where interdisciplinary sessions, panels, and working groups will present and discuss new solutions for green economy in its three dimensions – economic, social and environmental – in a balanced and integrated manner. The fundamental target to be reached is thinking again manufacturing systems and intervening on citizens’ consumption habits through the technological, social and organizational innovation. The conference will follow up a broader range of stakeholders, policy makers and experts to discuss policy frameworks at the national and regional levels on pro-poor development strategies, to support accelerated investments and refine the policy-relevant messages in order to obtain sustainable development leading to reduced amounts of natural resources used, wastes disposed of in landfills, and greenhouse gas emitted to the atmosphere. The conference will conclude with a road map to promote practices and mechanisms that are sustainable, in accordance with national policies and priorities among CEI members based on sharing, circularity, collaboration, solidarity, resilience, opportunity, and interdependence.
