Nowadays, the core of the Circular Economy linked to the Sustainable Water Management and Supply is defined by the systems thinking and environmental stewardship. Therefore, the interplay and relationship between these aspects is important to consider each initiative in the Circular Economy. To help those focused on transitioning to a Circular Economy to develop solutions with water systems experts, a common understanding of key concepts must be understood. To set the basis for this, we have established, animated and support a community of specialists, researchers and practitioners, policy makers and influencers, teachers, trainers, and students around the AQUADEMICA events.
In this context, we cordially invite researchers, students, and practitioners to participate with full papers reflecting their recent research results convergent with the conference theme – Circular Economy in the Water Sector. This year, conference will focus on:
- Circular economy principles in practice and how they act to Sustainable Water Management underlying key intersection topics;
- Strategic alignment of opportunities by identifying projects, approaches and goals to reach both Sustainable Water Management and Circular Economy and by sharing ideas about their potential to accelerate water sector development and in principal, the related technologies implementation;
- Challenges and “opportunities” in the water sector during and after the COVID-19 pandemic by discussing safety and health problem related to local communities, together with new waste prevention and saving water measures, to deliver the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6-Water and sanitation for all;
- Enterprise, value and impact and the interface points between the natural water system and managed systems (e.g. energy, municipal use, materials manufacturing, agriculture etc.), and how Circular Economy can be used to:
- New business models potential;
- Improve functional performance and impact;
- Generate greater value and commercial opportunity.
Aqua Circular On-line Conference 2020, held on 7th – 8th October 2020, will provide an excellent opportunity for networking and publish research results and studies related to practical implications and cases, facts, best practice examples, experimental studies, theoretical research approaches, news etc. align with the conference topics.
