CICERONE is a EU-wide project aimed at developing the strategic coordination of objectives and priorities of regional, national and European funding programmes for the circular economy.

Their final conference will be held online on 30 March 2021 from 1pm to 3pm

This event will present an excellent opportunity to hear directly from partners on the results of the project, and experience the launch of the platform and its online portal.

Over the last 2 and a half years CICERONE have worked with over 100 stakeholders, primarily programme owners, to build more alignment for circular economy R&I programming and funding in Europe. This was achieved through:

• The benchmark and assessment of existing circular economy programmes at EU and international levels
• The publication of the Strategic Research & Innovation Agenda on Circular Economy (SRIA)
• Multiple stakeholder engagement and collective intelligence activities such as workshops and online forums to capture and build on the experience and needs of stakeholders at national, regional and local levels
• And finally, the culmination of all this work in the development of the new EU Circular Cooperation Hub (EU CCH), a platform for programme owners to collaborate and build joint programmes with the objective of increasing the impact of circular economy transition.
