Background & Policy context
Circular product innovation is opening up new markets and a wealth of opportunities for businesses across the world. Funded by the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions programme, the iCircular3 project will initiate a training programme focused on circular economy to strengthen the research potential of young researchers in the field. The project consortium, which consists of three leading universities and four industry partners, will guide researchers on how to leverage digital technologies to implement circular economy principles in a number of industries. These include industrial robots, outdoor power equipment and electric vehicles.
Objectives
Circularity has opened up new markets and business opportunities, domestically and outside the EU. However, opportunities are being missed due to low reuse and recycling rates. iCircular3 creates a cohort of future leaders in research, policy, and business through its innovative training programme focused on the Circular Economy. Three leading universities supported by four industry partners will address the incorporation of circular economy principles using digital technologies throughout the product lifecycle, for three innovative and strategic sectors for the European economy: industrial robots, outdoor power products, and electric vehicles.
