Presentation
C-PRONE stands for Circular Procurement Network, in many languages, it can be pronounced as 'chaperone', this friendly supportive companion, which gives an idea of what the hub stands for: a place for its participants to share and seek support. There is a growing number of countries, regions and cities experimenting circular procurement, but there is no overarching body, network or platform to facilitate 'inter-initiative' sharing of insights and experiences. During the Interreg NSR ProCirc project, partners prepared the concept of C-PRONE, with the aim of setting up a permanent umbrella for circular procurement initiatives and create a structural sharing space to bridge this gap.
C-PRONE aims to enable and facilitate international sharing between the existing networks, initiatives and individual participants, with the ambition of becoming a ‘one stop shop’ for current state of play on circular procurement, available tools, active stakeholders, and for past and ongoing initiatives, etc. Various activities will be implemented in order to:
- Facilitate the exchange of information: online and in person network meetings, training and workshops, participation in international conferences, information on upcoming events and activities;
- Create a body of knowledge: repository of good practices, studies, etc., circular procurement helpdesk, bimonthly newsletter with updates on community and circular procurement news;
- Provide policy insights: access and understand the latest EU policy developments linked to circular procurement, exchange and inspiration for regional and local policies.
