Description
Together with the Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs (Defra), EPSRC is now exploring future opportunities more broadly within the circular economy and fit within the eight Rs of circular economy above recycling.EPSRC is specifically looking at research areas and methods that maximise the value of products and materials such as:
retrofit
repair
reuse
remanufacturing
modular design
ecodesign
servitisation
EPSRC is interested in research and innovation that aligns with circular business models and has the potential to be embedded in business or industry in the medium and long-term future.
Additionally, interdisciplinarity is key to research and innovation outcomes in these areas.

Dedicated networking sessions will also be facilitated for delegates.
