In the summer school we are aiming to present and discuss

appropriate and sustainable solutions and services for CeTAmb LAB aims to build knowledge and conduct
global challenges as well as safe management of problems research in appropriate technical solutions to

we are presenting the global trend in applying the circular
economy in water and waste through moving from linear
economic model to the circular economy model. Different
applications of circular economy will also be discussed in
relation to water management, solid waste management,
energy recovery, policies and regulations supported by
case studies and projects.
