The CCRI supports the entire circular economy journey of cities and regions – from strategy development to implementation, replication and investment.

Support includes:

• Coordination, guidance and technical assistance provided through the CCRI Office, including advisory support on circular economy governance and implementation pathways;
• Financial assistance mobilised through Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe, in the form of EU grants for circular economy demonstration projects and project development assistance (over €280 million supported during 2022–2025);
• Additional technical assistance and investment support, including services delivered by the European Investment Bank (EIB), its Circular City Centre (C3) and other dedicated EU facilities supporting circular economy investments;
• Peer learning and capacity building through Communities of Practice, twinning, mentoring and thematic exchanges;
• Connections to a wide ecosystem of European initiatives, networks, experts and Associated Partners active in circular economy implementation.

The CCRI Compass helps navigate this support landscape and identify relevant services and opportunities.
