Plastic recyclability and circular economy
The French-Nordic conference on the subject of plastics in a circular economy is a chance for researchers and participants to expand their network or/and research scope. Researchers have been invited to briefly present their work on specific topics such as green building blocks for plastics of the future, design of plastics for circular economy and emerging recycling technologies. It’s an opportunity to identify partners, create multidisciplinary teams and be competitive for European projects from the Horizon Europe calls, while strengthening the collaboration between France and the Nordic countries.
During the first day of the conference, ongoing initiatives like the European Plastic Pact and Horizon Europe calls are being presented, to explore opportunities for further collaborations and research projects. This is followed by scientific sessions, with brief presentations by researchers. Day one is a webinar broadcasted from IVA.
