Description
CircaFan Action develops novel and innovative holistic strategies to foster emergence of solutions for Circular Facades (CFs) and their uptake in the construction industry. This imposes an interdisciplinary approach for knowledge creation, dissemination and transforming it into practical applications. The Action critically tackles cutting-edge developments in theory and practice and envisions opportunities for heir future innovation aligned with the goals of the EU Green Deal and the New European Bauhaus.
CircaFan seeks excellence and achieves inclusive results by innovating CFs by: establishing interdisciplinary and geographically diverse research framework for developing new methodologies and tools, guidelines and technologies, reshaping the supply and value chains, and by integrating circular materials, multifunctional systems and digitization. It aims to establish assessment frameworks, which coupled with digital tools support the advancement of contextually adapted CF solutions, which can be upscaled on a EU level and globally.
CircaFan fosters collaboration among all project partners, promotes inclusion of less research-intensive stakeholders, involves industry experts and promotes young talent pool, forming strong research networks between them, lasting beyond the Actions` lifetime, ensuring its long-term impact and sustainability. CircaFan promotes ITC and YRI inclusion, geographical and gender balance, with dedicated involvement strategies and mentorship. It is organized in four expert groups for a comprehensive, interdisciplinary collaboration and spread of excellence. CircaFan will build capacities, raise awareness and advance knowledge among the academia, industry, general public and policymakers, thus contributing to trigger structural changes, ensuring paradigm shift and transformation towards circular future and a widespread adoption of Circular Facades.
