Building a European strategy and platform for circular economy Research & Innovation

INCREASING COLLABORATION AND ALIGNMENT BETWEEN
OWNERS OF CIRCULAR ECONOMY PROGRAMMES

The current fragmentation of circular economy priorities and initiatives is hindering the impact we could achieve. By tackling the challenge in a collaborative and systemic way, we will increase the sustainability of the transition, all the while valorising existing knowledge and resources.

We are committed to bringing national, regional and local governments together to jointly tackle the circular economy transition needed to reach net-zero carbon emissions and meet the targets set in the Paris Agreement and EU Green Deal.

Strategy

Developing a Strategic Research & Innovation Agenda (SRIA) for Europe, to
support owners and funders of circular economy programmes in aligning
priorities and approaching the circular economy transition in a systemic way.

JOINT PROGRAMMES

Designing joint and systemic programmes to tackle the circular economy
transition across four key challenges areas: urban areas, industrial systems,
value chains and territoriry & sea.

PLATFORM

Building a platform for circular economy programme owners at national,
regional and local level to share best practices, co-create and collaborate on
joint programmes for circular economy research & innovation.
