Dear students,
The Raw & Circular Economy Expedition (RACE) is back and we’re calling all sustainability pioneers to get involved!
What is the RACE 2023?
RACE is a challenge-based learning programme across the raw materials value chain that unites sustainability pioneers to connect, learn, and innovate for the pressing raw material challenges.
