Teaching Circular Economy: An interactive and multi-disciplinary approach

Circular economy (CE) is gaining interest from practitioners and academics who recognize its potential for environmental challenges. On-field CE projects implicate the collaboration of professionals with different backgrounds and competencies. Today’s students - future professionals - need to be prepared to face multi-disciplinary subjects as CE from theoretical and practical perspectives. Therefore, this research aims at investigating issues in addressing real case studies in case-based learning (CBL) for a multi-disciplinary subject in multinational groupwork. We adopted action research analyzing the current development of several CE academic courses by a European consortium.
