A conceptual framework for higher education institutions and the circular economy

The need to investigate the knowledge and participation of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) students in sustainability issues is crucial. The working group on Circular Economy and Waste Management from the Portuguese Sustainable Campus Network (RCS) is dedicated to investigating the attitudes and comprehension of HEIs students about the principles and practices of the Circular Economy (CE). This group intends to propose a conceptual framework for collecting data from students at various HEIs to contribute to the understanding of how these institutions adopt and implement CE principles, which significantly influence student perceptions and attitudes.
