DAN-CE

On 7 June 2023 the Dutch Academic Network on Circular Economy (DAN-CE) will meet at The Green Village on the TU Delft campus for its 4th event. Registration will close on 30 May 23.59 hr.

Using the new National Program Circular Economy | Tweede Kamer der Staten-Generaal, as input, DAN-CE 4 will be a day of in-depth discussions, workshops, and high-level keynotes by academia and decision makers on the opportunities and implications of the Circular Economy. The purpose is to advance the academic discussion on CE in the Netherlands, as well as to provide inputs to the CE policy debate. The theme is “From National Program CE to Research Agenda: Academic Perspectives” and discussions will be related to recent policy documents at the EU level, such as the European Critical Raw Materials Act, the Net Zero Industry Act, and the Eco-design for Sustainable Products Regulation Proposal.
