Project description
Circular economy solutions to enhance innovation ecosystems
In line with the European Innovation Agenda’s flagship initiative to accelerate and strengthen innovation within European ecosystems while addressing the innovation divide across the EU, the EU-funded RIVCircular project brings together eight European regions. The project focuses on five key circular economy priorities: construction and demolition waste circularity; waste, resource and energy recapture; recycling of electric vehicle batteries; the textile industry; and the digitisation of the circular economy. RIVCircular implements a coherent set of collaborative activities to reinforce interregional cooperation, including networking, capacity and skills building, joint procurement initiatives, integration of social innovation and identification of market access barriers. It also provides cascade funding, supporting third parties to develop, test and scale up innovative solutions across participating regions.
Objective
In line with the new European Innovation Agenda’s flagship on accelerating and strengthening innovation in European Innovation Ecosystems across the EU and addressing the innovation divide, the RIVCircular project proposes the collaboration of eight European regions in southern (Madrid, Extremadura and Greece), central (Haut de France and Vienna), northern (Innlandet) and eastern (Kosice and Kiev) Europe in the field of the circular economy. The RIVCircular project will focus its actions on five key priorities, of great interest to the participating regions, of the circular economy. These are:
• Construction and Demolition Waste (CDW) circularity.
• Waste- Resource and energy recapture.
• Electric Vehicle (EV) batteries recycling.
• Circular economy in the textile industry.
• Improving the digitization of the circular economy
The RIVCircular consortium will develop two types of activities:
• Competitive selection and funding (a joint open call implemented via financial support to third parties - FSTP) of one interregional innovation call in the circular economy area, including deep tech, linked to key priorities mentioned above.
• A consistent set of core collaborative activities to improve the connections and cooperation between the participants' regions with different innovative profiles:
o Community of Madrid and Vienna are strong innovators.
o Innlandet, Hauts de France, Extremadura and Greece are moderated innovators.
o Kosice and Kiev are emerging innovators.
Collaborative activities will be developed in the following areas:
• Networking and coordination structures and tools to facilitate innovation development.
• Support for local innovation hubs networking.
• Capacity and skills building.
• Joint procurement initiatives.
• Integration of social innovators and civil society.
• Identifying market-access barriers and enablers.
