Circular Economy is one of the concepts that can help us address pressing challenges such as climate change.  As engaged researchers, we need to find new ways of doing research to address these pressing challenges. 

This talk discussed recent research explorations and topics such as ‘sufficiency’ (slowing consumption and resource loops) and ‘experimentation’ as key areas of focus in the Circular Economy. The discussion at the Open Innovation Seminar series organised by innovation expert Prof Henry Chesbrough, also led to exploring the links between Open Innovation and Circular Economy.
