ENLIGHT Lecture: “Circular Economy & Environment", February 14, 3pm CET

Join us for an enlightening and inspiring exploration into the future of energy at our upcoming event, "Circular Economy & Environment"on February 14th at 3 pm CET

Welcome to the intersection of sustainability and innovation - where energy use and the circular economy meet.

In this lecture, we will explore the transformative synergy between responsible energy practices and the principles of the circular economy. Together, we will unravel the threads that connect our energy consumption choices to the cycles that redefine our resource use. Join us for this brief yet enlightening exploration, where we will dissect the profound implications of harmonizing energy use and the circular economy to envision a more sustainable and resilient future.

In the upcoming lecture, four experts from ENLIGHT universities will share their insights from

  • Ana Picallo-Perez (University of the Basque Country) - Thermoeconomics for managing the efficiency of buildings thermals systems
  • Rachel McArdle (University of Galway) - Energy poverty and tenants: exploring the links between housing and energy in Ireland
  • Matùs Mišík (Comenius University) - EU energy policy following Russian invasion of Ukraine: Towards a common external energy policy?
