One year research

The organizing team of the 2019 edition of the Circular Minds Conference has chosen this event to present their findings after a year of research about circular housing. Together with the Mobiele Fabriek we tried to understand and map the barriers and opportunities in the building industry for sustainability. These findings, together with your results from the innovation challenge, will be formulated into pilot paths that could be used as a guide for the transition to a circular building and housing industry.

The Circular Minds Conference-concept

The THRIVE PhD Academy believes that a transition to a circular economy will be a transition through people. But for that transition to happen, people will need to connect. At the Circular Minds Conference we bring together stakeholders from a wide variety of backgrounds to learn about the latest academic insights and best and worst practices from the field, work together in idea generator sessions, and network with stakeholders from now and the future.

Let’s do it together!

The Circular Minds Conference is a unique event organized for entrepreneurs, investors, policy makers, scientists and sustainability experts. Together with partners Mobile Factory, Momentum Capital, FairLifeFoundation and TU Delft, we inspire participants to learn, collaborate and connect.

The transition will happen through people. Join them!
