Summary
Project acronym: SMART CIRCUIT
Project ID: CE0100007
Project start date: 2023-04-01
Project end date: 2026-03-31
Project status:
closedRelevant linked projects:
- European Strategy for Data (Dataspace for Smart Circular Applications) + EU Circular Economy Stakeholder Platform addressing Horizon Europe (HE), Digital Europe Programme (DEP), concerted actions of Interreg (cross-border-cooperation (CBC), transnational) and ESIF (EN) | SMART CIRCUIT set a strong focus on digital circular innovation based on a critical mass of stakeholders (Policy, RTO, Business). Permanent screening will be carried out during the project to assure best-in-class use of lessons learnt from parallel projects & initiatives and to capitalise this synergy potential. Step by step different funds will be used to intensify implementation work among the PPs, their innovation eco system & partners of excellence from the identified good practices. (EN), BBI JU (Bio-based Industries Joint Undertaking) + ECCA (European Circular Construction Alliance) + EU Governance of Value Chains addressing HE, DEP, ESIF, EIT (The European Institute of Innovation & Technology) and partly IPCEI (Important Projects of Common European Interest) (EN) | The SMART CIRCUIT project group work on 3 thematic sectors (construction, electronics, textiles) and 1 cross-sectoral circular technology approach. To demonstrate significance, high impact & quality of the actions set a consequent stakeholders dialogue with relevant initiatives is managed via working groups and conferences. This concerns in particular the 3 solutions (CIA, STRATLAB, FACTORY) and the correspondent digital circular value chain initiatives, all planned for a long-term use. (EN), Network of Digital Circular Initiatives in Cross-Border-Cooperation Areas of Central Europe and strategic CBC / macro-regional / transnational Interreg partner areas addressing appropriate Interreg CBC Programmes like BAY-AT, Upper-Rhine, Euregio Maas-Rhine, BSR, NEW. (EN) | SMART CIRCUIT provides high quality results and solutions to tighten the own project innovation eco system & to set interfaces to further cooperation areas. Both supports strong results, e.g. the trainings of the Circular Innovation Academy regarding integrated experts, number of trained CiVEs. Synergies (competences, research resources) for digital circular innovation are already identified with planned projects as AI4GREEN (BAY-AT) with no overlap of PPs & some trans. Interreg (Alpine, BSR). (EN), European Green Deal mainly addressing HE, DEP, Recovery Fund and concerted actions, aligned in a transnational context, using ESIF (e.g. Just Transition Fund) (EN) | After increasing the knowledge and working base of the SMART CIRCUIT project group is highly interested to foster direct implementation during the project and after project´s end. According to the EU Green Deal different funds are available for a long-term capitalisation of the 3 elaborated solutions. The direct use of them starts out of the project work together with identified partners of excellence as well as SMART CIRCIÙIT connect activities with complementary projects. (EN), eDIH (European Digital Innovation Hubs) and appropriate innovation & development corridors on upscaling knowldege for digital circular innovation using/addressing DEP, Erasmus and ESIF (EN) | All PPs of SMART CIRCUIT are (in)directly involved in/with the upcoming eDIHs where one main element will be the design and consequent use of innovation & development corridors to upgrade/upscale available knowledge for the relevant target groups and stakeholders. For instance, the CIA will get connected with complementary training providers also initiating some future strategic flagship project. Both will upgrade skills and increase number of CiVEs. (EN), Brain Trusts and action-oriented Knowledge Communities on digital circular innovation embedded in regional & national stakeholder networks mainly using
- ESIF and regional / national Funds (EN) | To gain access to future trends & knowledge on top level the SMART CIRCUIT PP group cooperates with excellent ASPs (SB Strategic Board & TP Technical Panel). To demonstrate the vital network the ASP “BIZ-UP, Business Upper Austria” is highlighted. This SB member represents a network of clusters, coordinates the RIS3 (#upperVISION2030, incl. the reg. Circular Economy Strategy). So, for a professional roll-out additional funds will get used and approved projects get connected with SMART CIRCUIT. (EN)
