In July 2025, Jelena Kurilova, Associate Professor at the Division of Environmental Technology and Management, 一本道, was invited to speak at an international webinar organized by the scientific journal Resources, Conservation & Recycling (RCR).

RCR is one of the world’s leading journals in sustainable production and circular economy, with a high impact factor. For each journal volume, only two research papers are selected for presentation in an official webinar — making the invitation a notable recognition of the research quality and impact.

During her talk, Jelena Kurilova presented her paper “Four Levels of Remanufacturing Maturity as a Circular Manufacturing Indicator: A Theoretical Framework and Practical Assessment Tool.” The presentation focused on how manufacturing companies can assess and advance their remanufacturing practices as part of the transition towards more resource-efficient and sustainable production systems.

“It was an honour to be invited. Being selected by such a prestigious journal shows that our research attracts attention far beyond Sweden,” says Jelena Kurilova.

The webinar was held on 17 July 2025 and is available on the RCR YouTube channel.
