The circular economy will not be built on materials alone — it needs people, and the right skills, in the right places. Europe's green transition is creating jobs. But it is also creating gaps — in skills, in access and in who benefits. 

Four speakers from research, industry, academia and policy will tackle the questions that matter — from what is actually working on the ground to whether Europe can get there by 2030, and get there fairly.

This conference will explore the future of printed and responsible electronics. 

Learn about how circular, bio-based and flexible electronics can move from research to real applications and discuss the future of sustainable electronics in Europe!

This webinar will provide the latest updates, key obligations and industry perspectives with an eye to 18 February 2027 when the Regulation will come into effect.

See how the solution can help with duplication of activities, difficulty identifying new investment priorities and designing project proposals that target clearly identified gaps.

This webinar will look at how Product-as-a-Service (PaaS) models can contribute to the ecological and social transition, and more importantly, how their impact can be measured.
