A key question was what a roadmap to the Fab City in 2054 might look like and how best to begin drafting such a roadmap. Important questions arose: What role do companies in the Hanseatic city play in this socio-ecological transformation? Do we need better, recyclable versions of familiar products or completely new products that don't even exist yet? + +## Back to the City And Circular Economy + +The scientific advisory board of Fab City Hamburg e.V. actively supports the search for answers to these questions. With the aim of making Hamburg and the metropolitan region fit for the future in the coming decades, we asked ourselves what opportunities and challenges are associated with increased local production and the circular economy. + +## Support of the Scientific Advisory Board + +The newly established scientific advisory board will support and accompany the association's activities with scientific input. This will be done by providing advice on current research issues and ensuring scientific quality standards. The advisory board will also contribute important scientific developments, new findings on digital manufacturing and relevant publications to the Fab City community. Conversely, it also disseminates the scientific work from the Fab City community to the scientific world and helps the association to continuously reflect on and improve its work. + +## The Members + +These are the members of the scientific advisory board: Prof. Dr. Dana Beldiman, Axel Dürkop, Dr. Ayse Glass, Prof. Dr. Moritz Göldner, Prof. Dr. Kerstin Kuchta, Prof. Dr. em. Dieter Läpple, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Jens P. Wulfsberg. + +You can find an overview with more information here: https://www.fabcity.hamburg/de/research/wissenschaftlicherbeirat/ + +## Visions of the Future And Tangible Steps + +The establishment of the Scientific Advisory Board marks an important step towards a more sustainable and resilient city. Cooperation between science, business and civil society will be crucial to realizing the vision of a circular Fab City. Together, we are working to bring production back into the city and to operate in a circular way in order to make Hamburg sustainable and worth living in. + +The exchange on June 10 was just the beginning. The Scientific Advisory Board will continue to work intensively on finding practical and innovative solutions to make Hamburg a pioneering city in the circular economy. We look forward to the challenges ahead and working with all stakeholders to realize our vision for 2054 and beyond.
