The ICF award will support a research visit to codevelop a competitive ERC proposal by integrating expertise in environmental modelling, sustainability assessment, industrial ecology, circularity strategies and environmental technologies.

The group will refine methodologies and design an interdisciplinary framework to quantify environmental, economic, and social impacts of circular CDW management. Reciprocal visits, including a return workshop in Scotland, will foster long-term collaboration and finalise the proposal for submission together with Scottish/UK partners.
