Circular Cities and Regions Initiative (CCRI)
This project started on Jan 01, 2024 to end on Dec 31, 2026.
CCRI Knowledge Hub is dedicated to amplifying the impact of the existing Circular Cities and Regions Initiative (CCRI) by expanding the network of engaged stakeholders and consolidating the knowledge and critical mass accumulated around the implementation of the circular economy. Building on the foundation of the Circular Economy (CE) stakeholder platform, CCRI Knowledge Hub aims to make the concept of a circular economy a reality, particularly in EU cities and regions that are in the early stages of their transition.
CCRI Knowledge Hub will serve as a “Knowledge Hub,” drawing on existing projects and initiatives to promote the adoption of circular economy practices across the EU. The project operates on three core principles: (a) providing easy access to organized, practical knowledge; (b) offering tailored mentoring to meet the specific needs of stakeholders; and (c) raising awareness to make the circular economy more desirable and accessible. These principles are applied across four key dimensions: (i) Public engagement, (ii) Innovation and technology, (iii) Business models and financial support, and (iv) Impact evaluation.
CCRI Knowledge Hub brings together a multidisciplinary consortium of 12 partners from 6 EU countries, including research and technological centers, universities, international networks, regional authorities, and specialized companies and SMEs. This diverse group brings a wealth of complementary expertise and capabilities, all working towards the shared goal of advancing circular economy transitions in EU cities and regions.
