Policies for a Circular Scotland – Where we are and how to change it

A group of academics from Heriot-Watt University (Prof Umit Bititci and Dr Melissa Marques-McEwan), the University of Strathclyde (Prof Jillian MacBryde and Prof Norin Arshed), and the University of Aberdeen (Prof Audrey Paterson and Dr William Jackson) are organising a series of knowledge exchange events on the topic A Circular Scotland in Europe.

After the events in Glasgow and Aberdeen in November and December 2023, I am emailing to invite you to the final workshop of the series. In this free workshop on the 26th April at Dynamic Earth in Edinburgh, we are inviting the business, policymakers, academics, and the wider public to join the discussion on circular economy practice and policy. More than that, we want to reinforce an international community of practice to support each other in driving the circular economy across Scotland and beyond.

This is an in-person event to promote networking, discussion, and idea exchange between businesses, not-for-profit organisations, supporting agencies, and academics from across the UK and Europe. Please register to attend as soon as possible on this link: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/policies-for-a-circular-scotland-where-we-are-and-how-to-change-it-tickets-866373114307?aff=oddtdtcreator and find current event flyer attached.

The event is funded by the Scottish Universities Insight Institute and Scotland Europa. Please note that we only have 80 places for this workshop, and they are offered on a first-come-first-served basis. Although this event is free event for attendees, there is catering and venue costs behind the scenes, so please only register if you are indeed planning to attend and let us know if anything changes.
