Date and time: 17th of April, 09:00–10:15 CEST (Brussels time)
Place: Hybrid — online and at Norway House, Rue Archimède 17, 1000 Brussels
Organised by: Nordic Networks for Circular Construction and Nordic Circular Hotspot
As a part of the Nordic Network for Circular Construction, hundreds of experts have gathered to define how circularity could be progressed in the Nordics — and exported elsewhere! At this session, we will present the published policy recommendations for circular construction and discuss their implications and applicability.
This session is part of a full-day event at Nordic Stage, see the programme here.
