CIRCULOOS Expression of Interest (EOI)

Open Call Description:

CIRCULOOS Expression of Interest (EOI) aims to engage supply chain actors across various manufacturing industries (e.g., metal, construction, electrical, furniture, leather, machinery, vehicles, wood, plastic) that want to engage in circular business with other complementary entities, forming Innovative Circular Supply Chains. Participants will adopt circular practices like refurbishing, remanufacturing, and repurposing (R-strategies), collaborating regionally to enhance product and process circularity.

The goal is implementing circular strategies and demonstrating new business models that improve circularity indexes. The selected supply chains should adopt and validate the series of tools offered by the CIRCULOOS project and enhance them as necessary with reusable components, which should also be useful for other circular supply chains and will be integrated into the RAMP platform. The project will compile a list of registered entities for consortium matchmaking, including online events via the RAMP platform.

All EOIs will be published to facilitate collaboration, allowing parties to form value chains and apply for funding in upcoming Open Calls #2 and #3. Participants gain access to matchmaking and information activities organised by CIRCULOOS, helping them prepare applications for funding up to 240K€/team.

Application Process:

The participation in the CIRCULOOS EOI and support activities requires that all interested parties register themselves and/or their companies on the RAMP platform.

The registration is open at any time during the matchmaking stage (from October 2024 to March 2025). However, registering before or during the official launch of the Expression of Interest  will allow more time to participate in relevant match-making events and webinars that will be held under the responsibility of CIRCULOOS.

Interested entities are also invited to pre-register on F6S, to get updates and newsletters on Open Call #2 and Open Call #3 by submitting their information at the F6S CIRCULOOS page.
