This funding opportunity focuses on advancing the circular economy transition by developing and testing indicators to monitor progress at microeconomic levels, such as companies, households, cities, and regions. Successful proposals will contribute to innovative governance models and materials aligned with the European Green Deal and the 2020 Circular Economy Action Plan (CEAP). The European Commission aims to harmonize circular economy monitoring indicators to improve their usability for public administrations, financial institutions, and businesses. The project outcomes will provide actionable guidance for circularity-supporting activities and further enhance circular economy practices. Activities are expected to achieve TRL 4-6 by the project's conclusion, with lump sum funding available.
Opening: 06-05-2025
Deadline(s): 17-09-2025
