Georganiseerd door Fontys Centrum of Expertise Supply Chains For Society.

Op de conferentie komen professionals in de logistiek, ondernemers, wetenschappers, beleidsmakers en studenten samen, delen we kennis en gaan we aan de slag gaan met logistiek in de circulaire economie.
 
In een inspirerend programma gaan we aan de slag met vraagstukken rondom logistiek en circulair ondernemen. In werksessies gaan we aan de slag met vraagstukken van de volgende organisaties:

•    Reinigingsdiensten Rd4  over het inrichten van circulaire ketens voor rest- en grondstoffenstromen;
•    Groeifondsprogramma BioBased Circular (Fontys Hogeschool) over wat er gebeurt in de keten als je plantaardige plastics, kunststof en bouwmaterialen gaat gebruiken;
•    Mengvoedervariant Nijsen Company over informatievoorziening van producten naar retailers;
•    Evofenedex over de impact van de eco-design directive op jouw (logistieke) organisatie en over hoe een Digitaal Product Paspoort eruit kan zien;
•    Onderzoeksprogramma LogiCELL over de conclusies uit het onderzoeksprogramma en wat deze betekenen voor bedrijven die werken in en met logistiek;
•    Onderzoeksprogramma LINCIT.
 
Daarnaast gaan we gezamenlijk aan de slag met een vraagstuk van Wessem Port Services Group BV. Als binnenhaven spelen er verschillende logistieke vraagstukken bij de organisatie. Bijvoorbeeld rondom samenwerkingen van organisaties op het haventerrein of vraagstukken rondom recycling. Kortom, een inspirerende casus!

Topic Regions and municipalities at the German-Dutch borders have ambitious plans and objectives to increase the share of renewable energies on the way to climate neutrality. However, other than regions in the middle of a country, the responsible stakeholders are faced with specific problems related to the border: the coordination of spatial planning is difficult for instance if it comes to wind parks. There are already some conflicts in border regions where citizens on one side of the border have the idea that they are not sufficiently involved. Electricity exchange across the border is also not always possible due to legal restrictions. This means, it is very difficult to solve current problems as for instance net congestion with more intense cross-border cooperation. In addition, national subsidy schemes and price mechanisms are obstacles to joined cross-border projects and citizens participation with the help of energy communities is still following national schemes. With the illustration of real cases of ambitious municipalities, the different obstacles will be discussed and possible option presented: despite the problems, what are promising strategies for cross-border renewable energy projects?
