Environmental change

Environmental change in European start-uppers thinking and acting- the solution for common sustainable development

About the project

Introduction

The Environmental change project promotes proactive reskilling and upskilling to reap the benefits of the ecological transition.
The project is in line with the European Green Deal postulates focusing especially on topics of circular economy and sustainable solutions.

Main objective

The main objective of the project is to introduce practical innovations in the area of sustainable business practices. The circular economy is an enormous challenge for developed and developing countries, in terms of capabilities to ensure efficient management of natural resources, prevent environmental degradation, and encourage socially responsible behaviours. The project Consortium will be taking the topics a step further, transforming opportunities into practical solutions. Through this project, we want to directly help enterprising, active people to develop their professional competencies and to provide start-ups with specific knowledge on how to sustainably manage their business.
