Final conference within the Start Circles project - "Good cop bad cop" in the circular economy - What is the role of wood and plastic materials?

The final conference of the INTERREG SI AT project Start Circles will be held online and bilingual (German/Slovenian) on November 25, 2021 from 2 to 5 pm.

We invite you to join the conference and get in touch with our partners and stakeholders from Slovenia and Austria.

 

The main findings and results of the project from the last three years will be presented. We will talk about the perceptions and challenges of the circular economy in Austria and Slovenia, with a focus on plastic and wood materials.

For this purpose we welcome guests from both countries:

Dr. Andreja Kutnar (InnoRenew CoE).

Dr. Franziska Hesser (University of Natural Resources and Applied Life Sciences)

Dr. Blaž Nardin (Faculty of Polymer Technology)

Dr. Thomas Brudermann (University of Graz)

Afterwards, participants will have the opportunity to take part in a transnational networking event, where representatives from industry, companies and research institutions will exchange information on issues related to the circular economy.

Connecting Studies with Industry and Research Environment

At UP FTPO, we believe that modern engineering education does not take place solely in lecture halls, but primarily through direct contact with industry, research institutions, and real technological challenges. For this reason, we provide our students with numerous professional excursions, laboratory exercises in companies, and insights into modern development and production processes already during their studies.

In May and early June 2026, students from different study years and courses visited several successful Slovenian and international companies and research institutions, where they were able to put classroom theory directly into practice.
