BECOME international project

BECOME (Boosting Circular Economy Expertise through Learning Communities) has the objective of fostering the circular skills of future experts in the circular economy. To address the need for a transition towards a circular economy (CE), we are going to reinforce the cooperation between education (i.e., HEI and VET) and labour market actors to educate current and future professionals to be able to develop viable solutions for the circular economy and its respective business models. This will be achieved through building strong circular economy learning communities or “Circular Hubs” in which experts engage in training activities, share state-of-the-art knowledge and best practices to boost the essential aim of educating future experts in this domain. BECOME combines the expertise of two VETs, four HEIs, and three labour market actors. Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) : HU Hogeschool Utrecht University of Applied Sciences from the Netherlands, UMG The University of Mining and Geology “St.Ivan Rilski” from Bulgaria, IEDC Bled School of Management from Slovenia and TUAS Turku University of Applied Sciences from Finland. Vocational Education and Training (VETs) ROCMN Regionaal Opleiding Centrum Midden Nederland from the Netherlands and RASEKO Raision Seudun Koulutuskuntayhtymä from Finland. Labour market actors LSJH Lounais-Suomen Jätehuolto Oy from Finland, Heijmans from the Netherlands and Interzero from Slovenia. BECOME will foster the circular skills of future experts in circular economy.
