GR-I-CE 2024 aspires to be a unique, hybrid, International Conference that will combine high quality academic presentations with the development of collaborative networks.

During the conference, academics, researchers, start-ups and business representatives will exchange knowledge and develop synergies in the fields of environmental remediation, waste management and sustainable development, presenting circularity and innovation solutions.

The Conference is organised by the UNESCO Chair on Green Innovation and Circular Economy of National Technical University of Athens (NTUA), in collaboration with Mantis Beyond Innovation.

Why Participate?

Where Research Meets Impact

GR-I-CE 2024 offers opportunities for researchers to publish their research in prestigious international journals and have their papers included in special issues of Discover Sustainability and Sustainable Futures.

Selected papers will also be published as chapters in a book by CRC Press/Taylor & Francis and included in the conference proceedings book.

A unique feature of the Conference is the opportunity to schedule meeting sessions with other participants (i.e. Academics, Researchers, Startups and Companies Representatives). A dedicated platform with scouting and searching features will be dedicated for carring out B2B, B2A and A2A meetings, offering an opportunity for all participants to meet each other, exchange ideas and discuss cooperation opportunities.

The participants will also have the opportunity to visit cultural and archaiological sites, as well as the historic center of Athens, that are within walking distance from the Conference’s venue. Since it is expected that during October the weather conditions will permit outdoors expeditions, these will be offered as an option.
