We are proud to introduce this industry mentorship webinar series designed to support students on their circular economy career journey. This is the newest initiative of our student-focused programs, including scholarships for the annual REMADE Circular Economy Conference, REMADE Academy courses, and opportunities for students to contribute directly to REMADE projects.
The first webinar of this series features Robert Radulescu, Executive Fellow at Michelin, and Kimberly Mcloughlin, Principal Engineer, Global Advanced Materials Team at Braskem, to share what their typical workday looks like as circular economy leaders and insights on industry trends.
