Smart Circular Economy is an international workshop focusing on the role of ICT as an enabler for the Circular Economy.

This workshop will bring together scientists and researchers as well as relevant stakeholders from industry and local communities to share and exchange their experiences, discuss challenges, and report state-of-the-art and in-progress research at the intersection of ICT and the Circular Economy. Accepted and presented papers will appear at IEEE Xplore and will be listed by all major indexes.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Architectures for collecting and curating data generated by distributed, heterogeneous smart assets.
• Technology enablers for Circular Economy
• Internet of Things, 5G, Software Defined Networks, Big Data, Analytics, Machine Learning, Neural Networks and other.
• Smart Infrastructure
