Il SUM 2025 – 8° Simposio sull’Economia Circolare e l’Urban Mining – si terrà dal 21 al 23 Maggio 2025 nella meravigliosa cornice di Procida.

Organizzato dall'IWWG–International Waste Working Group, l’evento rappresenta un Forum di riferimento a livello internazionale per il dibattito scientifico e tecnico sulla Circular Economy e sul recupero di risorse dai rifiuti.

Il Simposio è promosso da prestigiosi atenei italiani e stranieri e si avvale del fattivo contributo di Comitati Scientifici composti da oltre 63 scienziati, provenienti da 28 diversi Paesi, distribuiti nei cinque continenti e rappresentativi di tutti gli ambiti disciplinari coinvolti nell'Economia Circolare.

Il programma scientifico si articolerà in 3 giornate di presentazioni orali, workshop, poster e momenti di confronto in seduta plenaria.

----------------------------------

SUM 2025 – 8th Symposium on Circular Economy and Urban Mining – will be held from 21 to 23 May 2025 in the fascinating venue of Procida, Italy.

The previous edition, held in Capri in 2024, was a great event which attracted participants coming from 34 different countries and representing various disciplines.
Considering the intense and rapid development of topics and issues related to Circular Economy, observing the growing need for a multidisciplinary approach and ascertaining that the voice of the scientific community should influence more heavily the political decisions regarding Circular Economy, the SUM Symposium has become a multidisciplinary annual event.
The main aim of this decision is to promote a more continuous interaction (discussion, collaboration, exchange of experiences, etc.) between different disciplines with the full scientific engagement of intra-, cross-, multi-, inter-, and trans-disciplinary research teams, involving any stakeholders or entity that strategically drives its activity on a scientific basis.
The list of disciplines which are interested includes Agronomy, Biology, Chemistry, Economics, Engineering, Epidemiology, Geosciences, Law, Material Science, Medicine, Psychology, Sociology, etc. Each of them (as research groups, association, societies…) is working inside their individual area without fully exploiting the huge potential of a synergic, not competing, collaboration. And the effect of that might virtuously influence industrialists, businesspeople, government officials, non-governmental organizations, local authorities, politicians. 

In summary, the final goal of SUM is to promote globally Circular Economy thinking by advancing conceptually and technologically, while solving any critical issues.
