On October 6th the team of the EWUU alliance – institute 4 a Circular Society (i4CS) visited the Delta Climate Center in Vlissingen, an inspiring initiative where education, research, and innovation come together to tackle the complex challenges of climate adaptation.

Throughout the day, the teams pitched ongoing projects and explored connections across shared themes. Florijn Dekkers, ESCH-R Project board member, pitched about the ESCH-R Project. Other i4CS initiatives discussed were Circlash, and Fertile Soils. Projects that address circular resource use, legal principles, and sustainable land management from complementary perspectives.

Building on these exchanges, they all engaged in an interactive workshop to identify overlaps and new opportunities for joint research, education, and community engagement. The session highlighted the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration and network-building, helping to connect academic insights with regional challenges and societal needs.
