CERES Transnational Partner Meeting in Sofia: From Delivery to Community Building

CERES Training Path is up and running. The four core courses are now available on the CERES Hub, and the hybrid delivery calendar for the two specialised modules is live. Learners can explore the Hub, follow the certified learning path, and get ready to upskill for the circular economy.

Last week, CleanTech Bulgaria hosted our transnational partner meeting in Sofia, bringing together universities, training providers, and industry partners from across Europe. The agenda focused on three priorities:

• Flawless implementation: partners reviewed the status of content publication to ensure that all materials—syllabi, readings, cases, recordings, and exam guidance—are accessible and up to date for every session of both core courses and specialised modules.
• A smooth certification process: we aligned on a clear exam pathway (LMS booking, assessment windows, and retake policy), and set timelines for info sessions ahead of exam dates so learners know exactly how to complete their certification.
• An innovative Hub experience: we outlined actions to strengthen the CERES Hub as a professional, thematic community space—dedicated channels by module, an expanded Knowledge Center (good practices, case studies, publications), event listings with direct join links, and continuous in-Hub notifications to keep participants engaged.

Partners also discussed how to circulate the curricula beyond the consortium, encourage cross-institutional mentorship, and promote hackathon participation as the hands-on component of the path.

What’s next: continued publishing of session recordings within 48 hours, targeted prompts to catch up on core courses between modules, and a shared calendar of pre-exam briefings.
