Attend the next Space Group Annual Meeting in Milan, italy on 3-4 November 2015, which promises to be two days full of energizing discussions on collaborative projects, networking, and building partnerships, exchange of ideas and best practices.

This conference's topic perfectly resonates with the 2015 Ecsite Annual Conference 'Food for curious minds' theme. The focus of this meeting will be on the impact food has on our body and mind, both from the long-term evolutionary perspective and from the perspective of everyday life. The conference programme will highlight the biological and cultural processes through which food both defines us and transforms us. Metaphorically, as well as literally, in what sense are we what we eat? Register by 9 October (fee: 40 euros).

The 16th European Forum on Eco-innovation will take place in Hannover, Germany on 7 and 8 April 2014, under the title ‘Wasted potential! Towards circular economy in cities’.

In Spain, VOICES focus groups highlighted what needs to change for a zero waste society, in terms of citizenship, policy, and research and innovation. The VOICES public event in Granada builds on these outcomes, with a Maker Faire, debates, workshops, pavilions and a range of exhibitions, bringing together the public, schools, research centres, politicians, universities, artists and craftsman to see how we can truly make the most of urban waste as innovation.
