Dear Circular Economy Community,
Welcome back! We're sending out this special edition to tell you about two key developments: more details about our Annual Conference and the Coordination Group Work Programme for 2026-2028.
Firstly, as we announced in our last newsletter, this year's Annual Conference will take place on 22-23 April in Brussels and will focus on the upcoming Circular Economy Act.
The first day will feature sessions organised by the European Commission and will be oriented towards policy, while the second day will be organised by the European Economic and Social Committee and will be geared more towards implementation on the ground. Our energetic new Coordination Group will be involved in both days, particularly day 2 when they will shape and take part in the sessions. As always, it will be a great opportunity to meet other circular economy practitioners and find out more about current and future legislation governing the circular economy and the challenges and opportunities involved in putting it into practice.
Keep an eye on our webpage where we will publish updates and the registration link. We look forward to seeing as many of you there as possible!
Our next edition will be out within the next two weeks, and will provide the usual roundup of news, events, good practices, reports and more. In the meantime, we invite you to read the work programme!
