E³UDRES² Change cornEr

The Change cornEr consists of researchers, stakeholders, students, and citizens who are regularly and actively engaging and discussing challenges, developing and co-creating innovative concepts, which are directly connected with the E³UDRES² regions. All challenges and concepts revolve around the general topics of sustainability and circular economy. Specifically, some of the topics that the Change cornEr is currently tackling are:

• Sustainable mobility

• Material recovery

• Circular logistics

• Resource efficiency

• Waste management

CornEr sessions are physical and virtual co-creation workshops, organized on different regional challenges related to Circular Economy.
