Join us on November 25 at Sustainability Collider - Confronting Challenges in Materials Innovation and Circularity for Industries. Co-organized by the Vice Presidency for Innovation (VPI), the Vice Presidency for Responsible Transformation (VPT) and startup gas pedal Tech4Regen, this forum is a platform for dialogue between EPFL's research laboratories, startups from its innovation ecosystem, industries active in the production of materials or their transformation into products, and government agencies. The format of the event is designed to enable stakeholders from across the value chain to forge a common understanding of current challenges and future opportunities.
The event will explore three key topics through short presentations by EPFL scientists, companies and start-ups, followed by round-table discussions:
- New materials and sustainable alternatives to petroleum-derived plastics and composites
- Circularity of materials
- Industrial manufacturing processes and greener supply chains
