The LIFE WEEELOOP project, coordinated by Copreci, has participated in a new edition of the UEGO! University-Business programme, organised by Cámara Bilbao University Business School (CUBS). This initiative, aimed at connecting the professional and academic worlds through real challenges proposed by companies, has allowed students to gain hands-on experience with the project’s work in the fields of circular economy and industrial innovation.

Within the framework of the UEGO! programme, the LIFE WEEELOOP project coordinator, Mikel Telleria Sanz, visited the classrooms of Cámara Bilbao University Business School to present third-year students with a challenge related to circular economy and industrial innovation.

During the session, students had the opportunity to see firsthand how the LIFE WEEELOOP project promotes the revalorisation of electrical and electronic waste, fostering new sustainable business opportunities with a positive social impact.

The challenge proposed by the project encourages young people to develop creative solutions to increase the viability and acceptance of remanufactured products, combining sustainability, design, and circular business models. The best proposals may be considered for future actions within the project.

This collaboration reinforces the LIFE WEEELOOP consortium’s commitment to education and knowledge transfer, helping new generations integrate the values of the circular economy into their training and future professional practice.
