Project Objectives
The CCRI Coordination and Support Office provides technical and comprehensive support over the whole life cycle of urban and regional circular economy initiatives and launched a call for expression of interest for pilot and fellow cities and regions, open from 21st March 2022 until 29th April 2022. The call aims to select a group of ten Pilot cities and regions which will benefit from four years of knowledge-sharing with technical support to speed up their circular policy implementation. Furthermore 20 Fellow cities and regions can liaise to the Pilot group to engage in this multistakeholder learning process, liaising them with industry representatives, research and technology organisations and civil society stakeholders across Europe’s. Cities and regions are eligible, as well as so called territorial clusters, a socio‑economic, geographical and environmental system composed of all relevant actors and at least one public authority, with the capacity to implement, demonstrate and facilitate the replication of at least one Circular Systemic Solution in a specific territory. CCRI is aiming for the highest ambition and best ideas to capitalise cross sectorial cooperation and innovation and the biggest potential for transferability of these Circular Systemic Solutions to other cities, regions and territorial clusters.
