The Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s flagship higher education initiative will develop for a further three years, thanks to renewed support from Wendy Schmidt and The Schmidt Family Foundation.
The renewed partnership will build on five years of successful collaboration via the Schmidt MacArthur Fellowship, and will aim to expand engagement with a circular economy approach within higher education, to achieve significant impact at a global scale.
Launched in 2013, the Schmidt MacArthur Fellowship has established a network for academic faculty and students from world-leading universities to exchange knowledge, insights and perspectives around a circular economy approach. The Fellowship has contributed significantly to establishing the circular economy as a credible framework within the educational community, influencing the thinking needed to support systems-level change.
