Workshop

 

The 'China-Brazil Workshop' was envisioned to promote and accelerate circular economy by identifying synergies and opportunities for joint research. 

 

Circular economy is all about making development sustainable. It means using our natural resources and designing our products in a way that extracted raw materials are used as sensibly and as many times as possible. A transition to a more circular economy holds major potentials, not only for the scientific research, but also for the competitiveness countries’ economies.

 

The 'China-Brazil Workshop' is a major tool to promote sustainable development in a global context, confirming Brazilian-Chinese leadership on circular economy and supporting the expansion of their activities abroad. The workshop consists of a high-level scientific meeting to discuss and exchange on topics of mutual interest between Brazil, China and other countries, such as Italy and USA that already confirmed to attend the meeting. Researchers fellows from other communities are also welcome.

 

The 'China-Brazil Workshop' will be held as a special activity of the 1st International Bay Area Circular Economy Conference that will occur in Macau on November 20-22, 2019.
