„Circular Economy and Sustainable Development“

Despite the far-reaching restrictions as well as health and economic consequences of the Corona pandemic, there has also been positive news to report in recent months: Air pollution temporarily decreased due to the restrictions on public life. Nevertheless, in the context of the climate crisis, ecological action will remain an important prerequisite beyond the end of the pandemic in order to continue to make life on earth worth living in the future. In the summer semester, the School of Business and Economics once again invites you to a public lecture series. The series, which includes lectures in German and English, is entitled: "Circular Economy and Sustainable Development".

The events will be broadcasted virtually via the WWUzoom platform. The series currently includes the following dates - extensions will be announced on an ongoing basis:
