SUM BECOMES A MULTIDISCIPLINARY ANNUAL EVENT
AND GOES TO PROCIDA: 21-23 MAY 2025 SAVE THE DATE!

SUM 2025 - 8th Multidisciplinary Symposium on Circular Economy and Urban Mining will be held from 21 to 23 May 2025 in the stunning island of Procida (Naples, Italy), a gem in the Bay of Naples, crowned Italy’s Capital of Culture in 2022.

The previous edition, held in Capri in 2024, was a great success attracting participants coming from 34 different countries and representing various disciplines.
Considering the intense and rapid development of topics and issues related to Circular Economy, observing the growing need for a multidisciplinary approach and ascertaining that the voice of the scientific community should influence more heavily the political decisions regarding Circular Economy, SUM Symposium has become a multidisciplinary annual event.
The main aim of this decision is to promote a more continuous interaction (discussion, collaboration, exchange of experiences, etc.) between different disciplines with the full scientific engagement of intra-, cross-, multi-, inter-, and trans-disciplinary research teams, involving any stakeholders or entity that strategically drives its activity on a scientific basis.
The list of interested disciplines includes Agronomy, Biology, Chemistry, Economics, Engineering, Epidemiology, Geosciences, Law, Material Science, Medicine, Psychology, Sociology, etc. Each of them (as research groups, association, societies…) is working inside their individual area without fully exploiting the huge potential of a synergistic, not competing, collaboration. And the effect of that might virtuously influence industrialists, businesspeople, government officials, non-governmental organizations, local authorities, politicians. 

In summary, the final goal of SUM is to promote globally Circular Economy thinking by advancing conceptually and technologically, while solving any critical issues. 

The call for papers is still open!
