KU Leuven is starting two new interdisciplinary postgraduate programmes on the circular economy for professionals, where students learn from both academic and industrial experts. The two programmes will be held in parallel and partly together and will start in October 2023. Courses are on site each Thursday (13:30-20:30) in either Kortrijk (2023-2024) or Leuven (2024-2025).

RTSD introduces primary and secondary education teachers and students (from kindergarten to the 12th grade) to the 7 R’s of sustainable development (Reduce, Repair, Reuse, Reflect, Recycle, Reject and Respect). It invites them to express themselves artistically, while learning to design their own biomaterials using food waste and craft and digital fabrication techniques.

The Reflow Masterclasses offer a deep dive into dedicated topics relevant to the transition to circular cities. In a condensed 30-minute lecture, experts provide an overview of key knowledge about and insights into circular economy-related topics.

The Circulab Academy is proud to announce the following training courses for 2022:

• Business resilience
