Deliverables

Documents, reports (11)

Modelling assumptions

A detailed modelling framework aimed at mapping and representing circular supply chains in the identified future scenarios will be devised.

Horizon scanning and foresight techniques review

A review of horizon scanning and foresight methods and techniques will be performed in order to inform methodological choices for WP1

Performance evaluation framework

A framework of indicators aimed at measuring the performance of supply chains in the transition towards a Circular Economy will be developed.

Supply chain taxonomy

In this deliverable, a taxonomy of supply chain configurations aimed at supporting the transition towards a Circular Economy will be developed. Also, the suitability of each supply chain configuration with respect to the identified alternative Circular Futures will be evaluated.

Dissemination plan

A plan detailing the full set of dissemination activities throughout the lifetime of the project will be put together

Scenario Exploration System adaptation

Based on the project needs the Scenario Exploration System will be developed and tailored to deal with Circular Economy futures foresight

Policy briefs

Academic papers and main results from the project will be translated into short policy briefs.

Selected case studies

Methods developed in WP3 will be tested on a set of case studies linked to typified supply chains identified in WP2.

Futuring techniques for Circular Economy foresight

Based on the review performed in D11 selected techniques will be adapted to the specific needs of the project

Stakeholder engagement workshops reports

A report of the findings emerging from the stakeholders' engagement activities regarding the validation of plausible circular futures will be produced.

Stakeholders' collaboration patterns

An investigation on stakeholders’ collaboration patterns in alternative supply chain configurations will be developed. Results will be condensed in a research report.

Data Management Plan (1)

Data Management Plan

A plan detailing all the issues related to data collection handling and storage will be developed
