SUMMARY:OR in the Circular Economy: Applications in the European Project IS2H4C
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dr. Alessio Trivella\, Assistant Professor of Operations Research\, University of Twente \nIn recent years\, the Circular Economy has gained increasing attention from both academia and practice as a sustainable approach to resource management. However\, the application of Operations Research (OR) methodologies to circular economy challenges has been relatively limited. \nThis seminar presents insights from the Horizon Europe project “IS2H4C: Industrial Symbiosis to Hubs for Circularity” (2024-2028)\, which aims to advance the concept of Hubs for Circularity (H4Cs) in four regions across Europe. H4Cs are innovative systems that go beyond industrial symbiosis networks by incorporating not only industrial clusters but also the surrounding urban and rural areas into a circular ecosystem. This shift to a more inclusive model presents unique challenges for resource allocation\, energy management\, and symbiotic matchmaking—areas where OR tools can play an important role. \nWe will explore early-stage work within the project\, where OR techniques such as integer programming\, stochastic optimization\, and reinforcement learning are being applied to optimize resource flows within an H4C\, manage its energy system\, and facilitate industrial symbiosis. The ultimate goal is to integrate these decision-support tools in a digital collaboration platform to be used by the hubs in the project and beyond. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEURO Practitioners’ Forum past and planned activities are available to the Forum members\, as well as the wider public. \nVisit the website and register as a member for free\, to get the regular updates on all activities: EPF Member registration page. The recordings and details from previous webinars are also available on this website. \nFollow the Forum on X and LinkedIN \, and feel free to get in touch. \n\n\n\n\nEURO Practitioners’ Forum webinars organisers: Sofiane Oussedik (IBM)\, Joaquim Gromicho (ORTEC)\, Torkel Haufmann (Sintef)\, Adisa Mujezinovic
