CE BEACONS Project is supported by EIT Climate-KIC and aims to prepare companies for coming systemic CE implementation.

The main goal of the event is to highlight the key principles about natural material flows, how we can integrate our industrial and economic material flows within the natural ones and closing the material loops.

11 th November, at 12 AM CET

Theme: Highly efficient and effective circular systems based on water and materials

CE BEACONS aims to prepare companies for coming systemic CE implementation with raising skills capacity of local workforce, raising enabling conditions and helping decision makers lift recognized business barriers.. It also aims to co-design a regionally-fit framework with implementation methods, then to deliver knowledge through Train the Trainer (TtT) formats to experienced professionals and trainers dedicated to CE transition. This transfer of experience from Western Europe partners to Balkan partners aims to re-shape the frameworks and processes that are tested and working in the “west”, in order to fit the Balkan context.
