    Call For Papers - CFP

    WRF 2019 will host a series of ‘deep-dive’ workshops as part of the conference program and invites interested organisations to design and submit a workshop proposal now. Under the Title 'Closing Loops - Transitions at work', WRF 2019 wants to show systemic drivers, as well as concrete solutions to make the transition to circular economy work in practice.

    A circular economy aims at maintaining our resources, such as materials, land and soil, at a high quality level while rendering the services we need to fulfill our current and future needs. This can be achieved by reorganising production/consumption patterns and value chains so that resources do not get wasted, rather get replenished and restored.

    Workshops address topical issues related to the 6 conference themes:

    1. Cities and regions as laboratories for change

    2. Ports and circular economy in a global market

    3. Digital technology as driver for circular economy

    4. Sustainable materials and waste management

    5. Circular bio-economy and bio-based materials

    6. Land and soil as valuable resources

    Please keep in mind the following pointers for your submission:

    A workshop proposal implies the entire organisation of a workshop, including contacting and inviting speakers and moderator, preparing background materials and report. The WRF organisers take care of room, catering and promotion and can support you with suggestions for speakers and formats. In case you wish to work with scientific papers you will need to organise the review process yourself.

    Workshops put emphasis on concrete cases and solutions and on lessons learnt. What was successful, what did not work and why, what do we need to make it work, what can potentially be the relevance and impact on a more global scale.

    Workshops integrating crosscutting topics such as governance considerations, multi-stakeholder participation, financing, communication and education, links to climate change and poverty will be prioritised.

    Proposals using creative formats that assure dynamic interaction, idea generation and active participation in a multistakeholder setting will be prioritised.

    Workshops at the WRF 2019 are programmed to last in principle 1.5 hours each. Scientists and research institutions are also encouraged to participate and submit a workshop proposal, integrating scientific insights and papers in a dynamic format. In this case, please bear in mind that any corresponding call for papers and their respective review should be coordinated by the workshop organisers themselves before submission. For related questions please contact the WRF 2019 organizers.

    With this call we also invite partners who are interested in organising a site event of field trip, to contact us at marialucia.hijaratwrforum.org and Lieze Cloots at lieze.clootsatovam.be
