Socio-Urban Circularity Workshops
This document contains materials related to workshops organised in Greece, Italy, Tunisia, Palestine and Jordan by the INNOMED-UP project, which aims to work with Cultural and Creative Industries (CCIs) to shift local urban economies towards the principles of the circular economy, including optimal use of material resources, innovation enhancement for SMEs, knowledge transfer among cities, social inclusion and citizens’ engagement.
Pilot Re-use Open (PRO) Market
INNOMED-UP proposes to work with Cultural and Creative Industries (CCIs) to shift local urban economies towards the principles of the circular economy, including optimal use of material resources, innovation enhancement for SMEs, knowledge transfer among cities, social inclusion and citizens’ engagement. The document illustrates the open market events organized in Tunis (Tunisia) and Prato (Italy) aimed at promoting economic activity, showcasing the businesses and products of the sub-beneficiaries and promoting community engagement towards up cycling and innovation.
Pilot Clusters
INNOMED-UP proposes to work with Cultural and Creative Industries (CCIs) to shift local urban economies towards the principles of the circular economy, including optimal use of material resources, innovation enhancement for SMEs, knowledge transfer among cities, social inclusion and citizens’ engagement.
This document contains the methodology guidelines for the pilot clustering intervention for WP5 (work package 5), wich is the project work-package that tests previous outcomes, by translating all project gathered city circular economy data, into a pilot project to be implemented through a pre-identified cluster road map strategy. The document illustrates the results obtained during the execution of the INNOMED-UP project in the pilots implemented in Greece, Italy, Tunisia, Palestine, Jordan.
Clustering smart tools
By building on their common identity and by integrating into their productive schemes the principles of the circular economy, Mediterranean cities can create resilient urban environments and communities, establishing a supportive framework for CCI SMEs clustering.
This document contains the description of clustering smart tools as were proposed in the framework of the INNOMED-UP Project, together with Activities and Outputs they fall within. Tools concern designing a smart bicycle and building a prototype, developing a Central Information System, designing a smart garbage bin and building a prototype, developing an open source repository for circular designs and eco design toolkits, reproducing clustering smart tools in each case study and testing.
CCI SMEs’ clustering roadmaps for each city
INNOMED-UP proposes to work with Cultural and Creative Industries (CCIs) to shift local urban economies towards a circular production and consumption paradigm including optimal use of material resources, innovation enhancement for SMEs, knowledge transfer among cities, social inclusion and citizens’ engagement. The project works at a cross-border level supporting both technological developments and traditional recycling practices.
This documents contains a drafting of 6 clustering roadmaps, one per each participating city (Athens, Prato, Palermo, Tunis, Hebron and Nablus Cities, Irbid). For each of them there is an illustratation of the analysis of components and layers based on the survey, the roadmap strategy development and its implementation.
INNOMED-UP Model for the Mediterranean
This document is the final version of the Guide for circularity strategy for Cultural and Creative Industries (CCIs) and Small and Medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the Mediterranean (INNOMED-UP model) as drafted and published in the framework of the INNOMED-UP Project.
INNOMED-UP aspires to collaborate with CCIs to shift local urban economies towards a circular production and consumption paradigm including optimal use of material resources, innovation enhancement for SMEs, knowledge transfer among Mediterranean cities, social inclusion, and citizens’ engagement.
This handbook aims to provide an overview of the state of the art in upcycling practices at the urban level, with a particular focus on the practices implemented by Cultural and Creative Industries (CCIs) and the results achieved.
Info points for consultation of SMEs
INNOMED-UP info points are self-contained units, containing hardware and software that allow project stakeholders to easily access project information and interpretation. In particular, these info points aspire to operate as consultation offices for the Cultural and Creative Industries (CCI) SMEs in order to permit them to access foreign investments (such as European funding, bank loans or other initiatives) and to enhance community and stakeholders' engagement. Two info points have been established; one in Palermo and one in Amman. The online info points can be easily accessible either on computers or on smartphones.
INNOMED-UP Strategic Context Report
The INNOMED-UP project tackles the production of waste in Mediterranean Cities by helping them adopt Circular Economy (CE) solutions. In particular, the project proposes to work with the Cultural and Creative Industries (CCIs) to shift local urban economies towards a circular production and consumption paradigm (optimal use of material resources, innovation enhancement for SMEs, knowledge transfer among Med-cities, social inclusion and citizens’ engagement).
The present Report provides an extensive review on CCIs, as well as existing policies and synergies between CE and CCIs at Mediterranean and EU level.
