During Circular Economy for Sustainability micro-module, participants will gain an advanced knowledge and critical understanding of the concept and principles of circular economy and sustainability. This involves a paradigm shift in business, politics, science and society in general. Participants will be also trained to characterise and specify circular economy enablers and strategies. This includes understanding the fundamental conditions required for the circular transformation of organisations and ecosystems.
The module will guide participants in to circular economy ecosystems grouped into three distinct categories based on their system interactions and flows as well as their system-level goals, with five distinct types of ecosystems, namely: material flow-based industrial and urban ecosystems, knowledge flow-based entrepreneurial and knowledge ecosystems, and economic value flow-based innovation ecosystems.
