In December 9-10th 2021, The University of Castilla La Mancha<\/strong> in association with the European Council for Small Business and Entrepreneurship (ECSB)<\/strong>, who co-brands the event, organizes a two-day conference at the Faculty of Social Sciences in Cuenca Campus<\/strong> with the title \u201cConducting Research on Eco-innovation and Circular Economy in SMEs\u201d.<\/p>\n

Nowadays we are more conscious than ever about the climate change impacts in every dimension of our life and the fact that we are worsening life conditions for future generations. Therefore, there is agreement at all levels (policy, civil society, business leaders) about the urgent importance of acting to handle environmental challenges. Environmental sustainability refers to the set of corporate behaviours and strategies that \u201cmitigate a firm\u2019s impact on the natural environment,\u201d which include \u201cimplementing products, processes, and policies that reduce energy consumption and waste, us[ing] ecologically sustainable resources, and employ[ing] environmental management systems\u201d (Walls, Phan, & Berrone, 2011: 73). Along this line, eco-innovation and circular economy business models are referent behaviours for achieving environmental sustainability.<\/p>\n

We aim it as an interactive event that, hopefully, supports our participants in actively making a difference with their work.<\/p>\n

The Conference<\/strong> will consist of plenary sessions and thematic sessions for the different topics of the papers submitted. These sessions will be held in English.<\/p>\n

We welcome contributions of conceptual and empirical (qualitative or quantitative) nature. Topics include, but are not limited to:<\/p>\n

Ecoinnovation in the transition to a Circular Economy.
\nEmbedding circular economy into business models
\nSustainable Entrepreneurship
\nRegional policies in support to a Circular Economy transition.
\nSustainability in Higher Education- educational formats
