COLOR CIRCLE

WE ARE

6 partners from 5 different countries, regional and local councils, public development agencies and universities, sharing good practices on circular economy, involving research capacities to empower local authorities and to improve regional public policies.

• In France, HESAM Université and the Regional Council of Burgundy-Franche-Comté ;
• In Spain, the Provincial Council of Granada ;
• In the Netherlands , Van Hall Larenstein University from North-East Friesland ;
• In Romania, the Regional Development Agency of Centru ;
• In Czech Republic, the Central Bohemia Innovation Centre.

WE BELIEVE

• Circular economy is a cross-cutting issue which does not fit into sector-bound policies
• Local authorities are key players to make circular economy solutions happen
• Innovative cooperations with the research community can help local authorities address this issue of circular economy and its local governance.

WE DO

• identify and mobilize stakeholder groups in each of the 5 partner regions,
• help create new collaborations between local authorities and researchers on circular economy,
• meet every semester in one of our partner countries, every time different, to learn more on the regional policy and activities on circular economy (methodology, key players, difficulties),
• share good practices.
