The third Dresden Nexus Conference (DNC2020) will be held unter the umbrella “Circular Economy in a Sustainable Society”. DNC2020 aims to accelerate the transition to a more sustainable economy by focusing on identifying and discussing the concepts that nexus thinking offers to support the transition towards a circular economy. The Nexus Approach as well as the concept of circular economy have the potential to contribute to the achievement of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations. The conference aims to show ways in which the Nexus Approach can help to support the transition towards a circular economy. Like the previous events in the series, DNC2020 aims to bridge the gap between research and practice.
The conference will be offered entirely virtually and free of charge.
Further information on the full virtual programme are available via DNC2020 website: https://2020.dresden-nexus-conference.org/

Press Release on the new virtual format of the conference You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
