Organiser Cross KIC Circular Economy Community
Organiser of Boosting the EU Circular Economy transition through collaboration
This EIT Circular Economy Community consists of six Knowledge and Innovation Communities – or “KICs” – namely EIT RawMaterials, EIT Climate-KIC, EIT Digital, EIT Food, EIT Manufacturing and EIT Urban Mobility.
The main goals of the EIT Circular Economy Community are:
- Support the Innovation Communities in developing a joint circular economy offer and to increase their visibility in the circular economy landscape.
- Strengthen collaboration with European Commission services through the implementation of a Circular Economy joint strategy.
- Initiate and strengthen the collaboration with other relevant stakeholders and initiatives in the circular economy landscape.
- Support breakthrough initiatives and start-ups through the Environmental Technology Verification (ETV) Programme.
- Collaborate with the European Commission in the implementation of the European Circular Economy Action Plan.
- Collaborate with the European Circular Economy Stakeholder Platform (ECESP) through the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) and the European Commission (EC).
Pool and create further non-technical knowledge regarding specific aspects affecting the adequate implementation of Circular Economy approaches, as well as facilitating the access to markets for innovative KICs solutions.
