Community Sociaal Circular
The Circularity Lab collaborates with the Community Sociaal Circulair, by initiating and contributing to working groups on Circular Business Parks (Circulaire Bedrijventerreinen), and Circular Citizen Initiatives (Circulaire Burgerinitiatieven). In the Circular Business Parks group it has been concluded that social change and social innovation are key challenges to make progress towards Circular Business Parks and a research and action agenda, as well as a joint research proposal, are under development. The working group on Circular Citizen Initiatives has published (in Dutch) several essays on the role and potential of citizen initiatives in the transition to a Circular Economy: Burgerinitiatieven-de-nieuwe-aanvoerders-van-de-inclusieve-en-circulaire-economie-DEFINITIEF.pdf (sociaalcirculair.nl).
