The Candriam Chair of Circular and Regenerative Economy aims to develop several projects on the circular and regenerative economy through education and research, as well as the participation in both academic and non-academic events.

The chair offers various courses aimed at providing students with the capacity to reflect and act in relation to the circular and regenerative economy. These courses have the participation and contribution of external speakers to enhance the learning experience and bring reality closer to the students.
