The scientific programme of SUM 2024 includes more than 140 presentations selected by the Symposium Committees.
The presentations have been organized in Oral sessions, Workshops and Poster sessions. Oral sessions will last 60 min and include 4 presentations (40 min) and a Discussion. Workshops are focused on controversial issues in Circular Economy; they include few introductory short papers for seeding the debate among participants. Poster session will be made available in digital format.
In addition to the traditional sessions, everyday the Symposium will include five plenary Focus Sessions, dedicated to specific themes of high public interest. A moderator, after a state of the art presentation and statement made by 2-3 experts in the field, will guide the discussion among the experts and the audience. The format and the session settings were similar to a "talk show".
