Industrial symbiosis makes a key contribution to the circular economy, but relatively few people know what it is or how it helps. INSIGHT consortium experts have taken up the challenge of providing training for a new professional profile: the industrial symbiosis facilitator.

After researching the key skills and competences required for this new job, INSIGHT experts have developed a training course. An e-learning platform gives access to the course and to over 150 hours of self-study time designed to increase knowledge, skills and competences regarding industrial symbiosis (IS).

There are five interactive modules:

• IS Theory, Concepts and Context
• Resource Management
• IS Management
• Soft Skills for IS
• IS Case Studies

The training course is available in English, French, Italian, Spanish, Slovenian and Romanian.

After following the course, trainees will be equipped with skills and knowledge about industrial symbiosis, will have access to new job opportunities, and will know how to encourage businesses to adopt circular economy principles.
