Materials and Metallurgical Research (MMV) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with University College London (UCL), one of the UK’s leading research universities. The collaboration will focus primarily on circular construction, demolition waste management, sustainable use of materials, resources and energy and other topics related to the circular economy. The partnership creates space for joint research activities, exchange of know-how and the development of innovative solutions with an international dimension. For MMV, the cooperation with UCL is another important step in strengthening its international position and as an opportunity for the development of the CirkArena project, which has long focused on applied research and popularisation of the circular economy.
