From Fundamental Research to Action: the Circular Economy for Society
The Québec Circular Economy Research Network (RRECQ) is organizing a major conference to be held at Laval University from May 25 to 27, 2027.
The RRECQ invites its members, as well as anyone from academia, research, or the professional community, to come and share the knowledge and insights gained from their research, experimentation, or pilot projects in the circular economy.
The conference, titled “From FundamentalResearch to Action: The Circular Economy for Society,” aims to highlight the evolution of knowledge in the circular economy and how this knowledge is being put into practice through circular approaches and practices that benefit Quebec society. The conference will thus offer a unique opportunity to strengthen and develop ties between the research and practice communities.
