The Circular Economy Academy is a free mentoring and support programme, set up by the Rediscovery Centre, which is the National Centre for the Circular Economy in Ireland. The programme assists social enterprises and community organisations in Ireland to move their activities towards sustainability and embrace the circular economy.

The aim of the Circular Economy Academy is to facilitate Ireland’s transition to the circular economy through demonstration, education and collaboration. The support provided is based on the Rediscovery Centre’s vast knowledge of social enterprise development and design thinking concepts, from advice for start ups to business planning, funding, diversification, training and more.

Each service is tailor-made to suit the needs of the participating organisation.
