Time to Reflect, Reconnect, and Refocus: CERES Partners Meet in Paris

The CERES project partners recently gathered in Paris for a dynamic two-day meeting dedicated to reflection, planning, and strengthening collaboration. This milestone event provided a valuable opportunity to take stock of progress, align on upcoming priorities, and deepen the partnerships that drive our shared mission forward.

Over the course of the two days, the group engaged in productive discussions—reviewing the work achieved so far, shaping the roadmap ahead, and identifying innovative strategies to more effectively engage stakeholders. The sessions were marked by open, honest dialogue and a collective drive to deliver meaningful impact in advancing the circular economy through education and training.

It is an extremely exciting time for CERES. After months dedicated to investigate market needs for competences and identifying gaps in the existing curricula. CERES Curricula for HE and VET is officially ready and CERES partners preparing to implement it in their university and training hubs.

Beyond the working sessions, the meeting also allowed space for genuine team building. Time spent together outside the formal agenda helped to strengthen relationships, and remind us all of the human connection behind the project’s success.
