Project description
New platform for an efficient circular economy
The EU-funded CICERONE project will create a platform for efficient circular economy programming driven by programme owners. The project will involve research and technology organisations and other stakeholders, including civil society, industry, innovative SMEs, start-ups, cities, investors and networks, considering the national and regional diversity. It will carry out consultation mechanisms to ensure stakeholders’ active involvement and perform an initial benchmarking exercise to understand the most recent stage of technological development, map stakeholders, current research, development and innovation priorities, funding, and legal mechanisms. CICERONE will also develop a prioritisation methodology to analyse the current performance, indicating synergies, gaps and duplications, formulating improvements and best practices for policy recommendations.
Objective
CICERONE brings together programme owners, research organizations and other stakeholders to create a platform for efficient Circular Economy programming. The priority setting and the organization of the future platform will be driven by Programme Owners (POs), involved either as project partners, or via a stakeholder network. Diversity of national / regional situations is reflected in the partnership. The work will be carried out in close cooperation with research & technology organisations (RTOs), which contribute with their expertise of the main scientific and technological challenges. Consultation mechanisms will also ensure that all stakeholders will be able to actively contribute (civil society, industry, innovative SMEs, startups, cities, investors, networks, etc.). An initial benchmarking exercise will be carried out for a deeper understanding of the state of the art, mapping stakeholders, existing RDI priorities as well as funding and legal mechanisms. A prioritisation methodology will be developed to support an analysis of the current performance: synergies, gaps and duplications will be characterised, and pathways for improvements will be formulated. Identified best practices will drive the definition of policy recommendations. Once the state of the art has been clearly mapped out, the actual prioritisation work will be carried out. This includes building a Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA), performing an ex-ante impact assessment of joint programming on circular economy R&I, and developing a policy toolkit to promote the priorities and foster adoption by policy-makers. The project will also set the grounds for the future PO platform, starting with defining its strategic role in the existing landscape. The next step will be to specify governance and possible legal frameworks, as well as creating a financially sustainable model. It is a key objective that the platform be sustained after the end of the project.
