The Territorial Circular Center (TCC) that is established as part of the MOBICCON-PRO project serves as a first stepping stone to demonstrate the Industrial-Urban Symbiosis (I-US) concept and increase circularity in the construction sector in the EU.

TCC acts as a “one-stop shop”, embracing business, academia, research and technology organisations (RTOs), civil society, public authorities, NGOs, sectoral associations, and citizens active in the field of CDW.

The TCC offers a virtual and physical platform for exchange of knowledge, ideas and networking on key issues related to CDW treatment, reuse, legislative environment and societal participation, as well as on many other topics of interest for the citizens, the industry and the public authorities.

The Center serves as a physical congress space for public events, roundtables, experts’ gatherings and meetings, where all stakeholders are kindly invited and welcomed to take active participation. We have the ambition to make the TCC an actual educational hub, where representatives of the teaching staff in universities, as well as Bachelor, Master and PhD students have a posibility to conduct practical studies and perform respective tests and validations in real operational environment.
