Environmental champions from across South Wales and beyond will be able to share ideas and gain valuable inspiration for supporting the sustainable future of Wales at a special event next month.
The Circular Economy Innovation Communities (CEIC) Autumn Conference takes place at Cardiff’s SWALEC Stadium on Tuesday, September 27.
Tickets are available now for the free event which aims at discussing how well-designed, incremental efforts can have a substantial impact.
Keynote speaker is Dr Etienne Wenger-Trayner who will be sharing a theory of learning based on the concept of communities of practice.
The CEIC programme enables colleagues from across the public and third sectors to collaborate and create communities of practice to develop innovative solutions to probably the biggest challenge of our generation.
CEIC project director Dr Gary Walpole said: “We have a lot of work to do to meet the ambitious target of achieving net carbon zero by 2030 and need everyone’s help to get there.
“This conference will showcase the amazing work that is going on across South Wales public services to incorporate circular economy principles within their organisations. The conference also creates opportunites to meet existing participants, learn about what they have been doing and speak to the CEIC team about getting involved.”
