Strategic research and innovation agenda on circular economy

CICERONE aims to bring national, regional and local governments together to jointly tackle the circular economy transition needed to reach net-zero carbon emissions and meet the targets set in the Paris Agreement and EU Green Deal. This document represents one of the key outcomes of the project: a Strategic Research & Innovation Agenda (SRIA) for Europe, to support owners and funders of circular economy programmes in aligning priorities and approaching the circular economy transition in a systemic way

Vision paper on the role and impact of functional electronics on the transition towards a circular economy

Vision paper on the role and impact of functional electronics on the transition towards a circular economyAt the convergence of unconventional nano-electronics (NE), flexible, organic & printed electronics (FOPE) and electronic smart systems (ESS), the term ‘Functional Electronics’ encompasses this ever-increasing capability to integrate key digital technologies with cognitive functions, shifting from purely physical integration to functional integration. Smarter (hybrid) electronic components and systems will become viable notably at high structural density on and in novel substrates (including, but not limited to, flexible, organic, printed) and structural systems (e.g. textiles, plastics, laminates, glass, steel).In this position paper, the new concept of “Functional Electronics” is set and a common vision with Circular Economy key area was established
