Contributing to the efficiency and effectiveness of military operations, the European Defence Agency (EDA) operates the Incubation Forum for Circular Economy in European Defence (IF CEED), - with the objective to extend the benefits of the circularity concepts and their implementation to the defence domain.
In this context, EDA has incubated several project ideas, as described here.
As part of the effort towards their implementation, so-called “Starter Projects” will develop Proofs of Concepts - or similar tangible results - in line with the scope of the incubated topics.
For this, EDA will launch a call for proposals.
