Our hosts 20-22 September will be Runder Tisch Reparatur, the German “repair roundtable”. The event will take place at Technische Universität Berlin, on the Charlottenburg campus.

We are gathering after an academic conference on product lifetimes and the environment, PLATE 2019, so scholars can stay on and join us activists.

Please save the dates, and investigate funding opportunities to pay your way. The Restart Project will sponsor participation of select network members. More details and pre-registration will be available soon.
