Stakeholder Engagement Workshop: Co-Design a Digitally Enabled Reuse Hub for Construction
About the Event
Help shape the future of construction reuse in Scotland – and take away practical insights you can use immediately.
Join us for an interactive stakeholder engagement workshop as part of the TRACE Project, funded by the Scotland Beyond Net Zero Seed Fund. This initiative focuses on accelerating the adoption of circular economy practices across Scotland. Led by researchers from Robert Gordon University and Heriot-Watt University, in partnership with the Stirling Reuse Hub we are co-creating a digital prototype for a construction reuse hub designed for a construction reuse hub that makes material reuse more accessible, traceable, and profitable.
This isn't a presentation – it's a working session where your expertise directly shapes real solutions. We're developing a digital marketplace that integrates blockchain, IoT, material passports, and QR codes with interfaces designed for both expert and non-expert users. Your input will ensure it actually works for your needs.
To enable diverse engagement and participation, we will host 4 online sessions - please sign up to one that suits your schedule best. Miro board will be open and available during and after the workshop to allow participants to add comments and queries at times
