To stimulate and structure the debate, we have identified five macro topics on which to arrange the knowledge generated during the 2020–23 period of the Chair.

Objectives

The objectives of generating and disseminating the knowledge of the Mercadona Chair in Circular Economy are achieved through research and knowledge transfer instruments that range from the analysis and development of scientific articles, through direct participation in events and conferences, to the generation of real cases and informative articles that serve as models of good practice. Each of these activities is related to one of the five macro themes.

  • Generate knowledge on issues related to the circular economy and its application in the distribution sector through studies that will analyse and identify relevant information that may be of interest to managers and consumers
  • Disseminate the knowledge generated through conferences, workshops, and other collaborative activities.
