On Thursday 13 October, the winners of the Circularity in the Built Environment Graduation Award 2021-2022 will be announced by Vice Dean Maarten van Ham. Members of the jury will appraise the winning projects.

Two new educational resources have been made available that can support educators in teaching for and about circularity in their course(s) and help them provide their students with relevant learning materials. Both learning environments are completely open and accessible to all educators worldwide but also to anyone interested in circularity.

Do you want to learn how to integrate spatial aspects into the development of circular strategies? Enroll now for the professional education course ‘Spatial Circularity Strategies for Sustainable Regional Development’, which starts on 5 October.

The online exhibition ‘A Circular Maritime Region’ presents the results of the Research & Design studio ‘Spatial Strategies for the Global Metropolis’, part of the MSc Urbanism track.

During the CLIMA 2022 congress, the TU Delft, the University of Antwerp and Valstar Simonis are organising a master class on circularity. Besides lectures, the master class offers two case studies from the building services industry.

During the Week of the Circular Economy, PhD candidates from the Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment will present and discuss the circular aspects of their current research with practitioners.

While circular economy policies and initiatives are gaining momentum, their spatial implications remain largely unexplored. The third debate in the 'Making the Circular Built Environment a Reality' debate series focuses on the spatial dimensions of the circular economy. The Circular Built Environment Hub invites institutes, organisations and individuals to participate in this interactive session that aims to identify spatial conflicts, synergies, and potentials, paving the way for a future Circular Netherlands.

On 14 December, the symposium 'Architecture and Doughnut Economics' takes place.

On 18 December, Sultan Çetin Öztürk defends her PhD thesis 'Towards a Circular Building Industry Through Digitalisation: Exploring how digital technologies can help narrow, slow, close, and regenerate the loops in social housing practice'.

On 5 December, Tanya Tsui defends her PhD thesis 'Spatial approaches to a circular economy: Determining locations and scales of closing material loops using geographic data'.
