CIRKLA – UniGR Center for Circular Economy in Materials and Metals
UniGR’s Interdisciplinary Centre of Expertise for the Circular Economy of Metals and Materials (UniGR-CIRKLA)
The European School for Materials (EUSMAT), the Chair of Functional Materials at Saarland University, as well as the Steinbeis Research Center MECS (Material Engineering Center Saarland) are partners in a new project: UniGR-CIRKLA
Project Duration: 01.04.2024 – 31.03.2028
The main aim of the project is to bring together players from civil society, education, research and industry in a single centre of expertise to facilitate the transition to a more circular economy for metals and geosourced materials. It brings together UniGR’s scientific partners and CRITT TJFU alongside regional and European players from the world of industry and innovation.
The aim is to go beyond the exchange of best practice and combine the skills of players in the Greater Region to respond together to a challenge whose solutions transcend the boundaries of regional components.
