Decades of research in sustainability and circular economy innovation have led to great progress in academic scholarship and impact on many pioneering businesses. But we still miss a larger transformation of industry. In this workshop we engage with the concept of Real Utopia in order to reflect our existing scholarly approach and develop new routes of engagement with industry. Our goal is to inform scholarly practice of early stage researchers and established faculty alike.
