Join us for the RISERS Final Conference: How Europe Can Drive Cross-Sector Resource Efficiency: Upscaling Industrial Symbiosis through Standardisation
The conference will bring together representatives of industry, research, policymaking and standardisation to discuss how Europe can accelerate the implementation of industrial symbiosis across sectors.
The event will present the key results of the RISERS project, including the Industrial Symbiosis Standardisation Roadmap, and explore the role of standards in bridging innovation and market deployment, supporting European policy objectives and reducing barriers to industrial collaboration.
The programme will feature keynote presentations, expert panel discussions and networking opportunities focused on:
- Policy and Regulation – What Must Change to Enable Industrial Symbiosis?
Looking at the evolving European policy framework and the role of standards in supporting the implementation of circular economy and industrial symbiosis initiatives. - Research & Innovation – Standards to Bridge Innovation and Deployment
Exploring how R&I projects can generate standardisation-ready results and how research outcomes can be translated into practical tools, guidance and standards that support wider uptake and replication. - The Business Reality – What Industry Needs to Scale Industrial Symbiosis
Examining the practical challenges and opportunities faced by companies, industrial parks and other stakeholders when implementing industrial symbiosis approaches.
Save the date: 3 November 2026.
