Welcome to the International Circularity Conference 2027

On behalf of the International Circular System Association, the Global South Nexus and Murdoch University, we are delighted to welcome you to the International Circularity Conference 2027 (ICC 2027), taking place from 7–13 February 2027 at Murdoch University in Perth, Western Australia.

ICC 2027 will bring together researchers, industry leaders, policymakers, practitioners, community organisations and students to advance circular systems thinking, zero-waste practices, renewable energy transitions, conservation, sustainable resource management and regenerative development. At a time when the world is confronting interconnected climate, ecological, resource and social challenges, the conference provides a timely platform for dialogue, collaboration and meaningful action.

Hosted at Murdoch University, including within its sustainably designed timber facilities, ICC 2027 reflects a shared commitment to environmental responsibility, innovation and applied sustainability research. The program will feature keynote presentations, technical tours, site visits, workshops, masterclasses and collaborative sessions, creating valuable opportunities to connect cutting-edge research with policy, industry and community practice.

Delivered in collaboration with the International Circular System Association, Murdoch University, the Harry Butler Institute and the Global South Nexus, ICC 2027 will focus on circular economy and zero-waste practices worldwide, while also exploring broader dimensions of sustainability transitions, ecosystem protection, resource efficiency, renewable energy, zero-carbon futures, policy innovation, circular business models and community-led transformation.

By bringing together diverse expertise, experiences and perspectives, ICC 2027 aims to foster shared leadership and collaborative problem-solving across sectors, disciplines and regions. The conference will also highlight the importance of meaningful North–South partnerships, interdisciplinary knowledge exchange and context-sensitive solutions grounded in the lived realities of communities across both the Global North and Global South.

We warmly invite you to join us in Perth for a week of learning, exchange, innovation and partnership. Together, we can help build circular systems that protect natural environments, strengthen communities, accelerate the transition to a zero-carbon future and support a more just, regenerative and resilient world.

We look forward to welcoming you to ICC 2027.
