After the commencing review on Occupational Health and Safety Management-Systems Standards, follow papers which can be classified into four categories which cover the overall scope of special issue. The first category includes papers regarding the micro-level of circular economy. This means case studies in firm-level which implement different techniques to achieve sustainable development and circular economy goals. The findings reveal interesting achievements which are associated with cultural characteristics of the countries these case studies have been conducted. The second category of papers refers to the meso-level of circular economy where firms cooperate with each other by exchanging byproducts and organizing common operational procedures and routines to address environmental problems. The findings suggest assessment information technology tools to support industrial symbiosis among European firms. The next body of literature encompasses macro-level where circular economy techniques are implemented at a country level. Findings suggest methodologies for implementing and tracking circular economy in cities. Finally, a number of papers are included that focus on advanced engineering techniques. These techniques are useful tools for achieving circular economy and sustainability.History of engineering and technologybicsscaction theoryadaptationbuffer managementcarbon footprintCCPMChinacircular citycircular economyclimate changeconstruction delayconstruction safetycorporate philanthropycost benefit analysiscost prediction of substation projectcritical success factorsCuckoo Searchdriversemergy analysisEnsemble Empirical Mode Decompositionframeworkfuzzy logicFuzzy TOPSISindicatorsIndustrial symbiosisinformation transferinvestmentsIT toolsLife cycle assessment (LCA)Management Standardsmanufacturing firmsmaterial procurement managementOccupational Health and Safety (OHS)optimal project profitabilityPERT/CPMphotovoltaicspiping constructionplanning and controlpolitical connectionspollution impactPRAT methodprefabrication housing productionprobabilistic alternative approachProject Definition Rating Indexrenewable energy systemsresearch and innovation projectsresource competitionresource consumptionrisk assessmentrule-based systemssmart citysmart governanceSMEsocial capitalsocial networksocial network centralitysolar thermal collectorssources of fundingsteel productionstochastic simulationstrategic managementSupport Vector Machinessustainabilitysustainable citysustainable developmentsustainable economyTheory of Inventive Problem Solvingtraffic congestiontransport planningtransport project evaluationurbanizationvalue of travel time savingsValue-at-RiskHistory of engineering and technologyKonstantakopoulou Foteiniauth1288173Tsagarakis Konstantinos PauthNikolaou IoannisauthBOOK9910372782003321Circular Economy, Ethical Funds, and Engineering Projects3020672UNINA
