Impending activities include an expert enquiry on on adopting industrial symbiosis on a mass scale in Europe, as well as an industrial symbiosis workshop with key actors, planned for June 2018 in Cambridge.
Consortium partners also met with the SCALER Advisory Board members, offering a great opportunity to share and discuss with a core group of renowned experts in industrial symbiosis, including organisation such as: CCI Essone, VITO NV, Innovate UK Knowledge Transfer Network, Aguas de Portugal, EPEA Nederland, TENOVA, DECHEMA, CEMEX Research Group and Dansk SymbioseCenter.
