Dear ITU members, First held last year as part of the Madrid Science and Innovation Week, “3VIA 2022: A trivia night on the circular economy” is organized as part of the European Researchers’ Night 2022 as a Circular EELISA Community event coordinated by ITU. It is the first activity of the gamification trilogy named CIRCULAR IN PLAY, which is a recipient of the EELISA Joint Inter-institutional Activities in Communities fund, and an international collaboration of four universities under the EELISA European University Alliance: ITU, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM), Universitatea Politehnica din Bucureşti (UPB), and Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna Pisa (SSSA). This online workshop promises a fun night of collaborative learning and research to foster young scholars’ awareness of the circular economy across Europe. 3VIA 2022 welcomes all first- and second-year undergraduate students of EELISA member universities and other universities in Europe. Interested ITU students in relevant years are invited to explore the concept of the circular economy through short informative presentations, quizzes, and discussion sessions to be held on European Researchers’ Night, Friday, September 30, 2022, between 6-8 PM (Turkey time). Please find the event poster attached and click here for the registration form, which will be available until the night of September 27th. You can find detailed information on the EELISA event page and contact Dr. İmge Akçakaya Waite (imgeawaite@itu.edu.tr) with any questions.
