Which part(s) of the previous outcomes are relevant to the circular economy? Can circularity help to reduce the dissipative use of CRMs? Can criticality be used as an indicator to prioritize elements or agenda goals? How do we deal with trade.offs regarding reducing ecological impacts and saving resources? How will changes in demand of raw materials due to transitions in energy and mobility affect economic systems? What is the relation between criticality, circular economy and the Sustainable Development Goals? Can the circular economy reduce the risks of supply shocks? How are circularity indicators integrated into LCA? How is criticality integrated into LCA? Is this comparable/compatible? Are circularity and criticality similar with regards to the definition of scope (e.g. national, global, industrial perspectives)? How do urban stocks and urban mining relate to circularity and criticality?	Consortium partners, invited Advisory Board members, morning speakers
