 Implementing Circularity with    Plants and Computers

Circular Intelligence is the emerging scientific subject developed on this page. It emerges from the need of modern society to tackle three problems of global scale: the dependence on critical raw materials (explained here), climate change (explained here), and pollution (explained here).

Circular Intelligence results from a coherent intersection of the following 6 research topics:
