Are you involved in public procurement of innovative goods and services? This webinar will set out the findings of two projects (BRINC and P5Innobroker) focusing on this area.
You will hear feedback from the two projects and learn about an open access toolkit.
BIOFAST is a research project working on bioplastics. They aimed to make bioplastics degrade more quickly in composting environments - and they succeeded. Read all about it!
The SCALE-UP project helps regional multi-actor partnerships identify and scale-up innovative, sustainable bio-based value chains that build on regional resources.
It aims to adapt, implement and evaluate tools to help regional actors overcome bottlenecks towards fully exploiting circular bioeconomy potential. In this way, it will promote regional, rural, local/urban and consumer-based transitions towards a sustainable, regenerative, inclusive and just circular economy and bioeconomy across all regions of Europe.
With progress on the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) badly off track, solutions are needed - and the circular economy has clear potential.
This Chatham House paper explores how the circular economy could support each of the 17 SDGs and argues for this concept to be put at the heart of emerging plans to drive sustainable development towards 2050.
It identifies five priorities for action: embedding principles of justice and inclusivity into the circular transition; increasing international policy coordination; reforming the financial architecture to ensure the circular economy gets the investment it needs; rewiring the global system of trade to make it easier to trade circular products and services; and developing common standards and metrics.
DECISO (DEvelopers of CIrcular SOlutions) is a Horizon Europe project running from 2023 to 2025 which will assist European cities and regions with developing financing schemes for circular economy initiatives. This year, its annual conference will focus on Cities and regions investing in circular solutions: from idea to practice.
The I AM CIRCULAR challenge is your opportunity to showcase your innovations and lead the charge in the circular economy. This is not just a competition: it's a celebration of transformative ideas that are reshaping our world. Apply by 15 November!
Join the first session of the B-Trust masterclass series on Unlocking Consumer Trust in Innovative Biotechnologies.
This session will explore how consumer trust affects biotech innovation in the agri-food and bio-based sectors. Gain insights into stakeholder engagement, risk communication and building public trust.
On 17 July 2024, the Catalan government launched the Roadmap for the Circular Economy in Catalonia (Full de Ruta de l’Economia Circular a Catalunya, FRECC), highlighting its push for sustainable development and accelerating the transition to a more circular and equitable economy that maximizes the value of resources by 2030.
The plan, developed by the Catalan government (Generalitat de Catalunya), experts and citizens, aims to decouple economic growth from resource consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.
The roadmap will be implemented by means of two action plans: one for 2024-2026 and another for 2027-2029.
The Innovative Sustainable Economy Mission of the Interreg Euro-MED Programme is working to boost a fair transition to a circular economy.
On 2 October, the Mission will launch the Innovative Sustainable Economy Community Hub of the Mediterranean, a community of like-minded people committed to driving transformative innovation in the Mediterranean region.
