You are cordially invited to join us on Thursday and Friday, November 14 and 15, 2024, in Brdo pri Kranju for the 9th Annual Forum of the Strategy for the Alpine Region (EUSALP), the largest closing event of the Slovenian EUSALP Presidency. Even though the registration is now closed, you are still welcome to participate in the Forum, especially in the panel discussion on circular economy, where we will discuss the future of circular economy in the Alpine Space.

On Friday, November 15, 2024, from 9:30 to 11:00, a panel discussion on the circular economy will take place with the participation of the Ljubljana Technology Park as the coordinator of Horizontal Priority 4 for the circular economy. The panel discussion entitled "Could the Alpine Region become a model region for circular economy?" will focus on the challenges and opportunities the Alpine Region faces in its transition to a circular economy and the potential to become a model for circular economy in Europe.

The European Union is already playing a leading role in promoting sustainable production and consumption, but various obstacles such as economic and regulatory barriers, consumer behaviour and limited infrastructure are making the transition slower than we would like.

In this panel, Dr. Jernej Pintar, Director of the Ljubljana Technology Park, will present the main starting points and discuss with experts the role of the EUSALP in supporting the Alpine region as a role model for the transition from a linear to a circular economy.

EUSALP 2024 Agenda

Although the registration deadline has passed, we invite you to participate in the Forum and in particular in the panel discussion on the circular economy, which will provide an excellent opportunity to gain insights into the future of sustainable growth in the Alpine region.
