Project summary: The CirculEC (Development of innovative curricula and modules in Circular Economy and Sustainable Development) project is aimed to build the capacity of the human capital in the HEIs of Central Asian countries on a circular economy in order to provide staff, students and wider public with skills and competences aligned to the needs of local labour markets and environmental challenges CA countries face.

Expected results of the project:

● To introduce and integrate the topics of Circular Economy and Sustainable Development into the educational programs of partner countries. It will be important not only to explain the principles of CE and SD but also to illustrate ways, approaches/methods as well as concrete activities and actions to introduce it in business entities and territorial authorities.

● To accelerate the transition to more circularity and foster the implementation of Sustainability Goals and Green Deal actions. The European Green Deal launched the strategy for a climate-neutral, resource-efficient, and competitive economy. This plan also aims at ensuring that the circular economy works for people, regions and cities, fully contributes to climate neutrality and harnesses the potential of research integration between different disciplines to promote innovation and digitalisation. Transition to CE and SD will play a crucial role and contribute to climate neutrality to a high degree.
