17/6/21: Ideal-Cities @ 1.2.16 ICT in Circular Economy: Part of the problem or part of the solution?

 

On the 17th of June 2021, Dr. Marios Angelopoulos from Bournemouth University represented Ideal Cities on the UKRI-funded eFutures Network virtual workshop. The event was part of the eFutures’ 2021-22 series on “Electronic Systems for Sustainable Societies” and focused on ICT for a Circular Economy to discuss the problems ICT can create but also, vitally, the potential it has for offering solutions for sustainability. In the event the role of emerging ICT in a Data-driven Circular Economy was discussed and, in particular, ICT as an enabler for broader socio-economic paradigms, such as Smart Cities. Also, lightly touched on two indicative use cases – circularity principles in crowdsourced systems and IoT-enabled management of shared spaces in buildings and the increasing research interest in Smart Circular Economy.

The Circular Economy Research Center (CERC) is working to support the transition towards a circular economy and digitalization through education, training, and research. In that sense, the CERC is participating in several EU-funded research projects under Horizon 2020 which embed multidisciplinary and cross-sectoral applications of the circular economy principles. Moreover, the CERC serves the Circular Economy Research Agenda and contributes to a science-based, data-driven Circular Economy transition. This workshop is an opportunity to understand what role digitalization and skills play in supporting the circular economy ambitions. Ideal Cities is represented in this virtual workshop by publicity partner ENPC.
