Blended Living Lab for Nurturing Circular-Entrepreneurships among Australian and Arab Entrepreneurs
Eijaz Khan
31 May 2024 - 31 Oct 2025
To promote circular-entrepreneurship on the Australian-Arab, a Blended Living Lab (BLL) will be established in collaboration with James Cook University, Abu Dhabi University, UAE, and King Abdul Aziz University, Saudi Arabia. To accomplish this, First, the BLL will conduct three workshops with 30 attendees each in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Australia, organise 5-6 online knowledge sharing sessions, and create a portable training package called 'Designing Circularity into Business Models and Products' (DCBMP). Second, using DCBMP, we will conduct one online training sessions to build the capacity of 30 entrepreneurs in circular business models/products to accelerate innovation and create startups. Third, upon completion of the project, the BLL will be equipped with world-class online labs, and we will brand/market the BLL subscription model globally/Arab regions at nominal fees. Finally, through this approach, our project aims to enhance awareness/understanding among Australian-Arabs, maximise public diplomacy/economic opportunities, build strong community/institutional relationships, and increase recognition in the Arab.
Redefining E-waste Management: Circular Economy Business Models in Action
Eijaz Khan
27 May 2024 - 31 Jul 2025
The Queensland Government has implemented the 'E-Products Action Plan 2023–2033' with the vision of transforming Queensland into a zero-waste society by 2050. This comprehensive plan aims to minimise waste generation by emphasizing avoidance, reuse, and recycling practices. Queensland-based volunteer organizations can play a vital role in this initiative. However, the traditional approaches they use often fall short of addressing the environmental and social impact. The proposed research will introduce innovation by embedding circular economy principles into the existing model of volunteering organizations to address the challenges associated with responsible recycling. The objectives of this project is to develop a ‘blueprint’ that will be flexible and can be used by national and local volunteers, local and state government, civil society, the private sector, and local communities.
