DESCRIPTION OF COLLABORATION:
The circular economy (CE) is one of the tools to decrease the pressure on the Water-Energy-Food-Ecosystem Nexus. On the other hand, water management through principles of circular economy is a challenging task since the current CE applications do not consider the real-life of CE performance on the ecosystem functions and environmental flows. I am interested in joining a project that focuses on WEFE Nexus and CE as a part of watershed management as a partner.
DESCRIPTION OF YOUR ORGANISATION:
I am a faculty member in Environmental Engineering Department at METU. METU is one of the leading higher education organizations in Turkey with significant RD and educational activities.
