Partnerships and cross-sectoral collaborations for circular economies

Track 2.2

In our “Get to know our tracks” series of NBM2023, we are happy to introduce the Track “Partnerships and cross-sectoral collaborations for circular economies” hosted by Philippe Eiselein & Bart Henssen Odisee University of Applied Sciences (Belgium).

This track is inviting researchers, young and senior, as well as entrepreneurs to submit their work to their track. They believe that by bringing together a diverse group of people, it will lead to fruitful discussions and new ideas. The track is open to both qualitative and quantitative papers, in both preparatory and more mature stages. In other words, if you’re open to learning or teaching to either your peers, or people from a different sector, this track is for you.

This year, “I am particularly excited about the track that we are organizing: “Partnerships and collaborations for circular economies and new business models”. We aim to stimulate further discussion on this topic and want to contribute to the discussion of circular economy development” indicated Eiselein, one of the track chairs.  The track focuses primarily on how partnerships or collaborations for circular economies and new business models are built. We believe that by bringing together young and senior researchers, as well as entrepreneurs, will lead to fruitful discussion and new ideas. You should consider our track if you're open to learning or teaching either your peers or people from a different sector.

The track will seek also to shed light on the need for further insights into cross-sectoral collaborations and partnerships for the circular transition to happen. This is a fundamental and booming aspect of new business models, and the track aims to stimulate further discussion and contribute to the development of circular economies. If you're interested in learning about how these partnerships come together, or teaching others about your experience building one—or anything in between—then this is the place for you!

We hope you'll consider submitting your work to our track so that we can bring together young and senior researchers (both from academia and industry), as well as entrepreneurs, who are working on projects related to circular economies and new business models.
