Description:
The school will introduce and widen the challenges within the newly introduced Sustainable Development Goals (SDGS) and the circular economy approach, focusing on SDG 12 Responsible Consumption and production and SDG 13 Climate Action, linking them through the green economy perspective.
The aim of the school is exposing participants (PhD and graduate students) to principles and issues related to the SDGs and the circular economy perspective, analysing them from different points of view and providing tools and methodologies to apply, among the others (i) economic and political tools, (ii) consumers’ behaviour and demand role, (iii) innovation and technical aspects, (iv) indicators and evaluation techniques.
The school is organized as a combination of lectures and student activities from Monday morning to Friday. The participants will be involved in lectures and in group work for practising and applying the tools and techniques presented. Moreover they will be provided with some survival skills for young researchers such as project proposal development.
Application form available here.
