The emergence of the circular economy as a new form of economic production raises questions about its integration into the strategies of companies as well as into the orientations of territorial development and territorial ecosystems. This summer school dedicated to the circular economy and green growth will allow to put forward and question reading grids and analytical methods in regional science through high-level conferences, thematic workshops, master class and field experience.
