Another Step Toward a Circular Economy
From November 24-26, 2025, the partners of the EU project CURIOST met in Linz (A) for another project meeting – an inspiring opportunity to reflect on their joint progress and prepare the groundwork for the next steps.
In recent months, the project partners have been actively engaging companies, initiating new collaborations and laying the groundwork for their participation in the project. During the meeting, the partners shared valuable insights on their work to date, highlighting promising achievements and the momentum they are building together.
Next steps were also identified: from the introduction of Creative Heads – creative directors who will support companies on their journey towards circular design – to the organization of practical workshops during which companies will begin developing prototypes of circular solutions. Collaboration with local decision-makers was also discussed, and pilot projects were planned to bring the ideas to life.
Additionally, the project partners spent time exploring Linz together, discovering the city’s unique winter traditions and culture. Building personal bonds within the team gives the partners’ work a richer, more human dimension.
This meeting strengthened the project partners’ shared commitment to innovation, sustainability, and collaboration. Everyone is eager to turn ideas into action – please follow the progress to learn more about the next milestones in the CURIOST project!
