- To set up local experiments, develop and exchange knowledge aimed at circular and sustainable production methods.
- To develop new methods for recruiting and training technical talent in a low-threshold manner, creating career and development opportunities for young people in the area.

Circularity workshop - focus group series
Discover Centrinno Focus Groups, a series of workshops with a thematic focus
CENTRINNO is launching a Focus Group series to external stakeholders to present and discuss our approaches to specific thematic challenges. The initiative has the twofold objective of engaging with important actors to receive feedback on the validation of our concept and tools, but also it aims to be an inspiration window where external stakeholders can reflect on the possible uptake or adoption of similar approaches in different contexts.
An opportunity to exchange views and discover innovative approaches on themes that are common to our jobs and professional challenges. Even more interestingly, the CENTRINNO Focus Group activities aim to be the base room to create new synergies on specific topics, or even new networks of collaboration and future project opportunities.
The CENTRINNO Focus Group consists of a series of five online workshops on the following key topics, the next one will be on Circularity on 15th June:
