2024

 

Reedel, 15. märtsil toimub konverents “Let’s innovate (sustainably) together: Collaboration for Circular Bioeconomy Solutions” (“Areneme (jätkusuutlikult) koos: koostöö paremateks lahendusteks ringmajanduses”). Konverents toimub inglise keeles. Rohelise ülikooli konverents toimub Bioeconomy Changemakers Festival 2024 satelliit üritusena Tartus Eestis. Loe festivali kohta rohkem siit.

Festivali kui ka Maaülikooli eesmärk on tõsta ringbiomajanduse alast teadlikkust ühiskonnas, viia läbi demoüritusi, tutvustada kohalikke edulugusid ja seeläbi tugevdada piirkondlikku jätkusuutliku ressursikasutusega seotud tegevusi. Eestist lööb sel festivalil kaasa ainult maaülikool rohelise ülikooli ja Biomajanduse arenduskeskuse tegevuste kaudu.
