The Principal Investigator of the CIRCULAR project is Christian Schulz, a professor at the University of Luxembourg for European Sustainable Spatial Development and Analysis. Over the last two decades, Christian has developed a focus on regional governance and environmental economic geography. His interests in post-growth dynamics and the challenge of energy transitions are fundamental to this project. Christian has recently published works on sustainable practices of energy transitions, green building, institutionalizing alternative economic spaces, and sustainable resource governance.

Chris is a second year Master’s student in the department of Geography and Spatial Planning at the University of Luxembourg who joins the project as a student research assistant. Formally trained in philosophy, Chris’ motivations for studying the circular economy are grounded in the ethical responsibility held by producers and consumers to reduce the demand for raw materials and non-recyclable products. Chris’ contributions to the project will include updates to the homepage and working with the team to develop an annotated research database.

The ISAG is the primary external advisory body of the CIRCULAR project. The main task of the ISAG is providing input and advice relating to the scientific and research agenda of the project.
