The circular economy concept is of crucial importance to post-COVID-19 recovery. Countries of the Western Balkans are working to improve waste management and could benefit from the circular economy approaches, which consider systemic interdependencies and go beyond the tendency to look merely at recycling rates. Circular economy is also a pivotal tool for delivering part of the 2050 decarbonisation agenda in Europe. EIT RawMaterials has joined forces with EIT Climate-KIC, EIT Food, EIT Health, EIT Manufacturing, EIT Digital and EIT Urban Mobility in a joint initiative aimed at bolstering collaboration and enhancing the circular economy approach in the region.

We are delighted to announce that, in collaboration with Belgrade Metropolitan University and Ss. Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje, two Meet-Ups will be organised around Circular Economy topics that are equally important to regional actors and to the EU.
