Circular economy

Project plays an important role in addressing the challenges posed by the lack of understanding of the possibility of circular resource use. For example, in deficient areas where discarded shipping containers or abandoned buildings are replaced only with «New» ones, existing legislation does not yet include a circular approach to use resources. The approach in our project offers a concrete implementation of the new circular economy action plan and proves that in everyday life, a close link between economic growth and resource use can be broken. This could be achieved through the re-use consumption or products that can be recycled-re-used-repaired. Project objective is to reduce the pressure on virgin material needs and GHG emissions by increasing re-use and implementation of waste/used materials in the new designs.

Early school leaving and student retention is a challenge amongst educational institutions across Europe. Students who have dropped out of school struggle with lower employment rates and lower participation in adult education for the rest of their lives.

By creating methods described in a Guidebook and developing the Onboarding & Student Retention-app (O&SR-app) this project will use data proactively to combat the considerable challenge of early school leaving.
