EIT RawMaterials Innovation Hub South and ADACI will offer the opportunity for a professional Master Class on Circular Supply Chain for entrepreneurs, supply managers and public authorities

ADACI – the Italian association of purchasing and supply management and member of the European Raw Materials Alliance (ERMA) – has co-developed the professional course “Master Class on Circular Supply Chain” with support from EIT RawMaterials Innovation Hub South and selected EIT RawMaterials funded projects in lifelong learning education.
