- Upcoming events
Step into the virtual realm of academia with EURECA-PRO’s Online PhD Seminar on Tuesday, 31 March 2026, dedicated to the theme:
“Circular Solutions for Advanced Materials, Composites & Polymer Waste”
Hosted by the European University on Responsible Consumption and Production, this seminar brings together PhD researchers working at the forefront of circular economy and sustainable materials research. Join us to discover how innovative processes and assessment tools can contribute to more responsible production systems and resource efficiency.
In this inspiring seminar, three doctoral researchers will present their latest work addressing key challenges in advanced materials and waste management, with a strong focus on circularity and sustainability:
- Sustainable and Responsible Battery Production – Juan Guerrero Paez (Hasselt University)
- Experimental Analysis of the Waste Hydrothermal Treatment Process – Hamza Mumtaz (Silesian University of Technology)
- Circular Economy Strategies for Fibre-Reinforced Polymer Composites (FRPCs) Using Sustainability Assessment Techniques – Seyed Majid Tabatabaei (Technical University of Leoben)
