Go Circular in Life Science - Annual Event

The Go Circular in Life Science Association cordially invites you to the annual event and workshop on Circular Economy in Life Science. Explore new pathways towards circularity in Life Sciences as we bring together industry experts, academia, and sustainability advocates to examin the ecosystem analysis for circular economy potential within Basel's thriving Life Science sector. This year, with support from BaselCircular, Impact Hub Basel, and in collaboration with FHNW and ZHAW, we're examining the Life Science ecosystem to understand stakeholders' needs and to uncover opportunities for circular transformation. At this event, we'll share our preliminary findings, discuss actionable insights, and invite expert feedback to shape the future of circular initiatives. Event Highlights: Welcome, updates, and General Assembly from Go Circular in Life Science Association Presentation of ecosystem analysis results on circularity potential in Basel's Life Sciences Interactive workshop for participants to provide feedback and insights Circular Economy Business Case pitches showcasing innovative solutions from industry leaders Networking apéro to connect with peers and collaborators in the field Agenda 12:30 Registration and badge distribution at WSJ 210, first floor 13:00 Welcome, updates, and General Assembly of the Go Circular in Life Science Association (GCiLS).
