The Circular City Centre - C3 is a competence and resource centre led by the European Investment Bank and co-funded by the European Commission as part of the Circular Cities and Regions Initiative (CCRI). 

It runs a Circular City Advisory (CCA) programme and a Circular Project Advisory (CPA) programme to support cities at various stages of their circular transition: 
- From interest and ambition to strategy (CCA 1 programme) 
- From strategy to project pipeline (CCA 2 programme) 
- From project pipeline to project implementation and preparation for financing (CCA 3 or CPA programmes)

These services are provided free of charge for municipalities and public promoters working on their behalf, with the external support of Circle Economy, Arup, ICLEI and ECORYS.

If your city would like to apply to the advisory programme, please fill in the expression of interest form for the CCA or CPA programmes and send it to C3@eib.org and cca-info@circle-economy.com. 

Applications for the current round are open until 6 March. Online Q&A sessions will be organised at 11:00-12:00 CET on 28 January and 11:00-12:00 CET on 25 February.
