Description
The workshop aims to foster collaboration among EU regions and projects to explore and implement circular economy principles, showcasing innovative use cases that enhance competitiveness while promoting environmental sustainability. By sharing best practices, groundbreaking projects, and success stories, participants will identify actionable pathways toward a more circular and resilient economy within the EU.
The objectives are:
- Knowledge sharing: facilitating a platform for EU regions to present their initiatives and projects that successfully integrate circular economy principles, focusing on clean and competitive solutions.
- Collaboration and networking: encouraging dialogue among participants to identify potential partnerships, synergies, and collaborative efforts.
- Highlighting innovative technologies and practices: showcasing those that have led to effective circular economy implementations.
- Strategic policy development: engaging participants in discussions on how regional policies can align with the EU’s Green Deal and Clean Industrial Deal, ensuring that local actions contribute to broader EU objectives for sustainability and competitiveness.
- Developing a collaborative roadmap: outlining concrete steps and strategies that regions can adopt to transition toward a circular economy.
The workshop will delve into a variety of pivotal topics centred on the implementation of circular economy principles across EU regions, offering emerging regions renewed options for resilience and competitiveness. Participants will engage in dialogues aimed at identifying synergies and partnership opportunities that can amplify the impact of circular solutions across the continent. Discussions will centre on how regional policies can align with the EU’s Green Deal and Clean Industrial Deal, ensuring that local actions contribute meaningfully to the broader sustainability and competitiveness objectives of the EU.
The workshop will also aim to create an actionable roadmap, outlining concrete steps that regions can adopt to transition toward a circular economy. This roadmap will emphasise the importance of strategic autonomy and reducing dependencies, while establishing a feedback mechanism for ongoing communication and continuous improvement in the implementation of circular economy strategies.
Through these discussions, the workshop aspires to empower EU regions to take a leading role in advancing circularity and achieving a sustainable future for the European Union.
