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.engEnsino superiorEducaçãoSustentabilidadeGestão de resíduosEconomia circularGestão de recursosconference paper
