SHORT PRESENTATION

This laboratory was established with the aim of discussing, analyzing, and contributing to research focused on improving the management of sustainable actions and the adoption of circular strategies by organizations. Its specific objectives include expanding the supervision of undergraduate students through scientific initiation programs, guiding postdoctoral researchers, and training master’s and doctoral students in the fields of sustainability and circular economy. Additionally, the laboratory seeks to intensify the development and submission of research projects with the involvement of international researchers and to increase their participation in research activities overall. Finally, it aims to strengthen university–organization interactions to broaden knowledge in the field of Sustainability and Circular Economy.
