The Incubation Forum for Circular Economy in European Defence aims to apply the circularity approach of the EU Green Deal to European defence.

It does this by engaging a cooperative community, including EU defence ministries, industry, institutes, research centres, financial institutions, academia and other bodies at national and international level.

Working groups called "Project Circles" cover the following themes:

• Critical Raw Materials
• Circular Additive Manufacturing
• Circular Materials for Textiles
• Sustainable Ecodesign
• EMAS Uptake Strategy
• Green Procurement
• Circular Data
• Spare Parts Management.

Based on circular economy principles, IF CEED aims to incubate collaborative projects and their respective consortia.
