Since 2021, the National Interdisciplinary Circular Economy Hub (CE-Hub) has brought together academics, industry practitioners, policymakers, and civic society stakeholders to deliver circular economy research and innovation in a systemic way.

Join us on the 19th March 12pm-1pm for the final data cluster meeting of the NICER programme.

The meeting will be an opportunity to hear a summary of key outputs and recommendations from the NICER programme on data and learn more about ongoing initiatives and data-driven tools to support circular economy decision-making.

As part of the meeting, the national Circular Economy Data Observatory will be presented. The observatory is intended as a tool to support decision-making on the circular economy by helping track material flows and stocks in the UK. It has been developed in partnership with the UK Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, UKRI and with input from the centres making up the NICER programme.
