In this course, participants create mutual understanding on how the circular economy (CE) and risk management are interconnected. They explore the relation of both CE and risk management to sustainable development and the to need for systemic change. Participants will explore the transition from linear to circular economy, by using current concepts, solutions, and ecosystems created to promote the CE. As an important part of the course, the participants will familiarize themselves with risk management and how to identify, assess, and prioritize risks in different contexts. Participants learn how to search CE and risk management related literature from various sources and learn how to analyse and assess the reliability of different information sources. The assignments aim to support the use of versatile information sources and analysis of the materials from different viewpoints.

After completing the course, the participants can:
- Utilize various sources to find research-based information
- Explain current research-based knowledge of CE
- Analyze current concepts, solutions, and ecosystems of CE
- Describe risk management tools and processes
- Interpret connections between CE and risk management
- Suggest improvements for current CE concepts, solutions, and ecosystems
