Advancing the circular economy in cities – C3 free advisory programmes: Call for applications

The Circular City Centre - C3 ( LINK ) is a competence and resource centre led by the European Investment Bank and co-funded by the European Commission as part of the Circular Cities and Regions Initiative (CCRI).

C3 offers advisory programmes to support cities at various stages of their circular transition:
1. From idea to strategy - Programme CCA1
2. From strategy to project pipeline - Programme CCA2
3. From project pipeline to project implementation and preparation for funding - Programmes CCA3 and CPA

These services are provided free of charge with the external support of Circle Economy, Arup, ICLEI and ECORYS.

If your city would like to apply to the advisory programme, please fill in the expression of interest form for the CCA ( LINK ) or CPA ( LINK ) programmes and send it to C3@eib.org and cca-info@circle-economy.com.
