We welcome 2026 with a spotlight on ZEvRA partner Northumbria University and their role within the project.
Engy Ghoniem from Northumbria University explains how they play a central role in transforming the project’s technical results into real social and industrial impact, bridging advanced research with circulareconomy practice.
Within ZEvRA, Northumbria University contributes across three key areas:
- Leading Work Package 5, focused on awareness, acceptability, and training
- Engaging industry, policymakers, and end users to identify barriers and drivers for circular solutions
- Developing tailored training programmes for engineers, students, managers, and decision-makers
The team also supports life-cycle cost assessment, material simulation, and aluminium microstructural characterisation, strengthening the project’s technical foundations.
Watch the video to discover how Northumbria University is enabling circular innovation through skills development, stakeholder engagement, and technical expertise.
