Circular economy in NL and abroad
Omschrijving
KIVI International Engineers (KIE), a section of The Royal Netherlands Society of Engineers KIVI (before Engineers without borders), is glad to relaunch itself and introduce its new board members. With its new start, KIE is pleased to invite you to its kick-off event under the title “Circular Economy in the Netherlands and Abroad: Experiences and new trends”. Circular Economy is selected as the topic for our first seminar since it is the annual theme of KIVI.
Driven by its mission to become a cater for international engineers in the Netherlands, on 27th September 2017, with great honor KIE is hosting two high level speakers with international and Dutch experiences on the topic. The idea is to share two different points of view in the context of circular economy: one from local and another from international experience and share the outlook for the future in this regard. Dr. Pavlina Nanou will give a presentation about her projects in The Netherlands from the local perspective and Dr. Diego Santamaria Razo will give a presentation about his projects in the international perspective. Each presentation will be followed by a short Q&A . And the whole seminar will be finalized with a dialog about the future trends in circular economy to create a fruitful conversation and interaction between the speakers and audience.
To speak Dutch is no longer a prerequisite to enjoy valuable KIVI events. English will be the official language of all our events.
As the number of seats is limited to 100, it is mandatory to register.
Admission will be granted on first come, first serve basis.
Dress Code: Business Casual
