Lecture at SME5.0 Summer School
By Lars Jakobs on November 17th, 2025
From 17–19 November 2025, the SME5.0 Summer School on “AI and Sustainability Engineering” took place at the CMU Faculty of Engineering.
I had the pleasure of delivering a lecture on Industrial Symbiosis as a key enabler of the Circular Economy, focusing on how waste streams can be transformed into valuable resources. The lecture introduced core concepts of the Circular Economy, analyzed Industrial Symbiosis as a strategic approach, and explored the potential of Artificial Intelligence to enhance matching probabilities and decision-making within symbiotic networks.
