eCityMálaga celebrates its first anniversary with 38 member companies and intending to be the first sustainable urban space with an efficient, 100% renewable and digital circular city model of the future.
eCityMálaga launched today the first academy on circular economy culture in a technology park in Spain, coinciding with its first anniversary. This free training, funded by Endesa and designed and coordinated with Smart City Cluster, will be attended by 25 professionals from the Málaga Tech Park and PCT Cartuja, who will receive up to 30 hours of training on this new sustainable economic model.
This academy is being taught by experts in the field with extensive experience in training and projects related to Sustainability and the Circular Economy. The aim of the workshops, which will be held today, the 6th, 18th, 19th, 25th and 26th of October, is to train attendees so that they can apply the knowledge in their work environments, thus contributing to the objectives of eCityMálaga.
The training is eminently practical and will address key concepts such as circular business models, financing, regulations, eco-design and circular environments, among other topics.
The training programme is based on the “learning by doing” methodology with a series of specific challenges that the students will develop in groups that will help them to apply the knowledge and skills acquired during the course. The challenge will be supervised by Smart City Cluster accompanied by experts in the specific areas they are working on.
The training programme includes top-level speakers and experts from public entities such as the University of Málaga, the Andalusian Regional Government, Málaga TechPark, FUNDECYT Extremadura Science and Technology Park and Málaga City Council, and private entities such as Endesa, Consentino, Ciconia Consultores Ambientales, Verdes Digitales, Entomo Agroindustrial, Enviroo, Circularise, Incotec, Solo, 3Dalia, TDK, Ecogestión and Unicaja.
The eCityMálaga Circular Economy Academy is taking place in the Pepe Pérez Palmis building (formerly The Green Lemon) of Málaga TechPark.
