CEP Twente aims to act as a regional platform that provides room for collaboration among regional stakeholders, including municipalities, companies, and NGOs and build a community of practice. The platform will serve as an umbrella association, bringing together diverse stakeholders from academia, industry, and (local) government to build a community that shares a common vision and creates societal, environmental, and economic impact in the Overijssel region. Within the UT, CEP Twente plays a critical role to accelerate the transition towards a sustainable circular economy by fostering interdisciplinary research, education, and knowledge exchange.
