ACR+ Days 2026: where circularity and bioeconomy meet. Over two days, participants will engage in high-level discussions, study visits and thematic sessions, with a strong focus on circularity, material resources management and bioeconomy. 

The event will provide valuable opportunities for networking, knowledge exchange and collaboration within a community committed to advancing sustainable and competitive solutions in Europe.

The Hubs4Circularity Community of Practice is a network of partners from industries, regions and cities, set up under Horizon Europe to facilitate building, scaling up and replicating of ecosystems of industrial and industrial-urban symbiosis, and circular economy. 

Come and learn about Hubs4Circularity initiatives and engage with experts and stakeholders from industry, regions and cities, policy, research and innovation!

The CCRI hands-on online workshops will focus on a key implementation challenge identified in the CCRI communities of practice. They will translate those insights into practical tools, methods and examples that participants can apply in their own context.

This session will look at Consumption‑based emissions (CBE) which show the climate impact of what cities consume, not just what they produce. It will introduce what a Consumption‑Based Emissions (CBE) inventory is, what it can (and cannot) tell you, and how cities are beginning to use CBE insights to inform circular economy action.

This session will focus on how planning can support the reuse of existing assets, limit land take, reserve space for circular activities and create the right conditions for circular design and material use in new developments.

This session is based on the community of practice Supporting local circular businesses. It will focus on designing support measures for circular businesses that work in practice.

 Cities and regions across Europe are facing similar challenges - at different stages and in different contexts - when implementing the circular transition. Over the past year, CCRI communities of practice have brought practitioners together to openly share what works, what doesn’t, and where they get stuck. 

This CCRI online workshop series builds directly on these insights, turning peer exchange into practical, hands-on sessions designed to help you move from ambition to concrete actions - no matter where you are in your transition. 

Industrial-Urban Symbiosis (I-US) connects industries and cities to repurpose by-products, energy, water, and expertise, hereby minimising waste, cutting costs, and advancing EU Circular Economy goals.

This event will bring together experts, policymakers, researchers and practitioners to discuss how innovation, governance and finance can accelerate the transition toward a circular economy. 

CO₂ pricing helps governments turn emissions into tangible costs that influence real choices in policy, projects and public procurement.

This webinar is the first in a series exploring how CO₂ pricing is applied in practice as a management tool. It will explain how policy and projects guide choices together, and how procurement can embed these choices without fixed rules.
