Research hub on Circular Economy and Open Innovation
Since 2020, we have been leveraging our expertise in open innovation to understand whether and how it could help achieve some of the SDGs. Specifically, we have focused on the circular economy and its key characteristics. We have sought collaborations with other universities, such as Roma Tor Vergata, Napoli Federico II, and Universidad Politécnica de Madrid.
