Kick-off meeting of the group was held on 18.3.2021 The main objective of this group is information exchange and collaboration on events, publications and visibility & communication activities. An idea behind this group is that we all have Waste Management and transition toward Circular Economy in focus and we are approaching the same target groups. So, we see it natural and efficient to have such cross-projects’ communication.
We will collect outputs from discussions on our meetings into a newsletter.
Next week on 23.-25.3.2021 is a reach of interesting ecology and environment related events in St. Petersburg
