The European Circular Innovation Valley (ECIV) project is set to commence in September, in which ACR+ is a partner. Spanning five years, the project involves 17 regions across nine countries with a total budget of EUR 27.16 million, of which EUR 16.3 million will be allocated through open calls for collaborative business projects focused on circularity innovation. To mark the beginning of this ambitious initiative, an open session will be held during the project's Kick-off Meeting on 10 September at the Committee of the Regions in Brussels. This session aims to introduce the ECIV project to a broader audience and provide insight into its objectives and expected impact. 

The open session is scheduled to take place from 09:00 to 11:00 at the Jacques Delors Building, Rue Belliard 99-101, Brussels. Interested participants are encouraged to confirm their attendance by completing the registration form. This event will offer an opportunity for interested parties to learn more about the ECIV project and its role in advancing circular economy practices across Europe. Note that subsequent sessions of the Kick-off Meeting will be exclusive to consortium partners.
