"It is crucial for the older generation what young people nowadays think and know about climate change, sustainability and the circular economy and what they are willing to do for a better future. It is very important, that young people not only look  but also see the world around them and also do something for it. I believe that these 120 students who are participating in this competition will not only know more about the circular economy, but will also become committed and active in this topic."- stated Dr. Beáta Fehérvölgyi, Dean of the Faculty of Economics, the main patron of this competition.
