Research projects
Accelerating Circular Skills for Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly (Arca): led by the University of Exeter Business School, working in partnership with Truro & Penwith College, Arca supports businesses to transition to the circular economy. Our workshops and training programmes are aimed at SMEs in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. We combine the latest business research with the hands-on experience of local entrepreneurs to deliver practical and engaging training programmes. The project is part-funded through the European Social Fund (part of the European Strategic Investment Framework for Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly).
JustCE (LEX) - Toward a Just Circular Economy: led by the University of Exeter, Business School and Law School, and the University of Lund (Sweden). This short research project runs from 1st March to 31st July 2023, funded by the European Network Fund 2022-23. The aim is to explore and empirically investigate the concept of "circular justice" in the literature and policies' narrative, focussing on the "right to repair" (R2R) movement in Europe as the ideal test bed for our understanding of the concept.

Abstract:
Prospect of Transition into Sustainable Energy in Developing Countries: an Analysis of Brazilian Public Programs
The cause of many environmental problems currently discussed may be imputed to current standard of production and consumption of energy, which is not consistent to the sustainable development's concept. On the other hand, energy is a key element of modern society and, without an adequate supply, its development will be limited. Thus, it is clear that the demand for energy, particularly in development countries, shall grow in coming years; so it is up to policy makers to develop mechanisms and encourage a transition into renewable (or sustainable) energy sources. At that point, the Environmental Law must operate along with the policy makers, by coordinating the necessary means to achieve predetermined goals, through public policies and programs - which are generically composed of command and control instruments and economic instruments. This study aims to illustrate those challenges with the discussion of two public programs implemented in Brazil for those purposes: "Light for All" and "Program of Incentives for Alternative Energy Sources" - PROINFRA.
