Who are we?
RISEC is composed of a collective of researchers across Latin America, North America, and Europe, dedicated to exploring and accelerating the transition toward circular economy models infused with social justice. This academic core is complemented by companies, industry associations, and local governments, whose collaboration ensures scientific knowledge translates into viable, scalable, and useful solutions for communities.
Mission
To foster applied research, inclusive education, and the development of public policies that reinforce sustainability through the circular economy.
Vision
To establish ourselves as the Ibero-American platform of reference that brings together academia, industry, and government for just, measurable, and scalable circular solutions.
