In this online course, you will learn what the circular economy means and why it is needed. In addition, you will acquire a deeper appreciation of the importance and opportunities of the circular economy through four different subject areas and, at the same time, gain a comprehensive picture of the practical applications of the circular economy. As multidisciplinarity, shared expertise, and systems thinking are strongly linked to the circular economy, the course is constructed considering these perspectives. After completing the course, you will be able to understand the problems of today’s consumption of resources and how the circular economy can help in resolving these problems, become familiar with approaches that could promote the circular economy, and create a vision of practical activities that different sectors could undertake to promote the circular economy. The course has two parts;
1) An online course on the MOOC platform, and you can take the course at your own pace. The link to the MOOC is published in the course Moodle. You must pass the multiple-choice tests for the course.
2) Individual assignment
