WHAT ARE WE DOING?
Creating a Circular Economy Digital Innovation Hub (CEDIH) brings about key benefits for the successful achievement of our objectives:
- create a shared digital space to provide CE innovation services, such as training and skills development;
- increase our awareness building impact by engaging a wider variety of stakeholders of the circular economy domain.
This digital platform wants to connect people and small medium enterprises (SMEs) from various sectors to relevant knowledge and up-to-date information about innovative processes.
It is imagined as a space for sharing and learning from other’s experience, knowledge, information and build skills.

HOw are we achieving our objectives
Throughout the CERES project, we’re actively working to update and improve circular economy training, ensuring it aligns with the latest industry needs.
Our approach follows key actions for each of the four steps:
- Assessing the Gap
We begin by identifying the gap between existing curricula and the skills required by the market. This is done through surveys, interviews, and market analysis to pinpoint critical skills for circular economy professionals. - Developing Updated Curricula
With our research findings, HE and VET partner institutions worked hard to updated curricula that reflect market demands and equip learners with the skills needed for the circular economy. - Implementing the Curricula
The updated curricula are implemented through pilot programs, online platforms, and workshops, making them accessible to students and professionals across various sectors. - Building the CE-DIH Platform
To support learning and collaboration, we’re creating the CE-DIH—an online hub for learning materials, networking, and real-world circular economy applications.
