Planning of the CIRCTEX Cities project

Reference number
Coordinator RISE Research Institutes of Sweden AB - RISE
Funding from Vinnova SEK 397 368
Project duration May 2026 - September 2026
Status Ongoing
Call Planning grant for international proposal 2026

Purpose and goal

The project´s aim is to prepare a competitive EU-proposal for CIRCTEX Cities by developing, together with partners, a clear project logic, impact model and demonstration concept for circular textile systems. The goal is to produce a well-grounded, structured and feasible proposal that enables the establishment and demonstration of full-scale Circular Textile Hubs in several European cities.

Expected effects and result

Expected results are a clearly structured and quality-assured EU-proposal with a strong consortium, concrete demonstration concept and defined impact logic with measurable indicators. The project will, if approved, create the conditions for feasible and scalable circular textile systems, contributing to reduced textile waste, increased reuse and repair, and strengthened capacity of cities to meet EU eligibility requirements.

Planned approach and implementation

The planning project is implemented in five work packages, which include analysis of call for proposals, development of project logic, consortium building, concept development, and preparation and quality assurance of EU-proposal. The work is carried out in close collaboration with partners through dialogues and workshops, with a focus on ensuring clear objectives, realistic implementation and a strong connection to EU eligibility requirements and policies.
