The CURIOST project supports small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with circular transformation in the fields of mechanics & mechatronics, packaging, plastics and construction. The focus is on circular design and sustainable product development.

Background

The circular economy plays a crucial role in innovative and sustainable product development, but there is often a lack of both the necessary expertise and the will to implement this approach. This is precisely where the new EU project CURIOST comes in. The aim is to support SMEs in four key sectors in Central Europe with sustainable product development. A total of eleven organizations from seven countries are involved in this project.
