Project

“Clean technologies for sustainable environment – waters, waste, energy for circular economy“ (Clean&Circle) for creation and development of a Centre of Competence

The Center of Competence “Clean&Circle” is organizing a discussion meeting with representatives of business and branch organizations

CIRCULAR SOLUTIONS OF CLEAN & CIRCLE

Science and Business

When: November 1, 2021, 10:00 AM 

Where: Zoom / Event Registration 

*After registering for the event, you will receive a link to the meeting and the program. 

For three years now, the Center of Competence “Clean&Circle” has been working on developing circular solutions in three areas: water, waste, and energy. The Center’s activities include developing clean technologies using modern high-tech equipment and disseminating the accumulated knowledge and expertise through professional trainings, qualifications, and discussions.

With the understanding that science must support the socio-economic development of society, we are organizing a meeting to discuss with practitioners the results achieved so far and the opportunities for effective cooperation.

Participants in the event:

leading researchers from the Center of Competence “Clean&Circle” in the fields of water, waste, and energy;

leaders of the accelerator for technological entrepreneurship and technology transfer.

The conference topics include:

What is the infrastructure of the Center (equipment, laboratories)?

What technologies are being developed at the Center and are ready for practical application?

How can science meet the needs of business?
