Science-Industry-Society dialogue
Facilitating dialogue between science, industry and society
As part of the Business Club, we facilitate dialogue between scientists, industry and civil society so that our members can ensure that their plastics strategies are relevant and effective. This dialogue enables our members to develop their skills, question preconceived ideas and share their expertise and best practices.

What does it involve in practical terms?
The working group meets 5 or 6 times a year during webinars or the Business Club’s annual workshops. It tackles different topics by bringing in internal experts (scientists, companies, NGOs) or external experts with different points of view/approaches/issues.
Following the working sessions, we produce summaries of the discussions in the form of technical sheets :
