About this programme
Located across five different EU countries in six sites (Brussels, Geel, Ispra, Karlsruhe, Petten and Sevilla) the JRC hosts specialist laboratories and unique research facilities and is home to thousands of scientists working to support the EU policy.
Working in close cooperation with policy Directorates-General, the JRC addresses key societal challenges while stimulating innovation through developing new methods, tools and standards, and sharing its know-how with the Member States, the scientific community and international partners. The JRC collaborates with over a thousand organisations worldwide whose scientists have access to many JRC facilities through various collaboration agreements. The activities of JRC are largely funded through the EU’s budget for Research and Innovation.

The consortium partners took up this challenge by valorising industrial side streams and setting up a circular approach to the textile industry.
