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.
MEDWAYCAP Interactive map
A 3D interactive map showing the territorial coverage of the good practices developed by the different projects that have worked in synergy during MEDWAYCAP. The map provides collaborative and interactive learning opportunities, offering a dynamic and engaging way to learn about the solutions developed in the different Mediterranean countries. This map is the result of a joint effort of all partners, who shared their best practices by telling their stories using the storytelling method. Have a look at the map on the homepage of the MENAWARA project.
MEDWAYCAP Memorandum of Understanding
An alliance for a long-term capitalisation strategy at Mediterranean level to improve non-conventional water supply, management and reuse, formalised through a Memorandum of Understanding signed by the project partners and associated partners, as part of a broader capitalisation strategy. The parties to the Memorandum agreed to develop and implement an advocacy strategy and to set measurable milestones to assess the relevance of their joint initiative to the main outcomes sought.
MEDWAYCAP BPs’ Inventory Platform
An open and dynamic resource that plays a crucial role in sharing knowledge and supporting decision-making. With 21 best practices from 9 Mediterranean countries already evaluated and published, the platform has proven its effectiveness in analysing trends and gaps to guide policy and funding. It works as a platform, a web-based business intelligence solution, to inform and disseminate the innovative solutions and practices implemented in the Mediterranean region and beyond. The platform includes the analysis of related issues such as performance, innovation, durability, socio-economic impact, Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and others.
MEDWAYCAP Innovation camp guideline
This document provides clear guidelines for developing the goal-oriented MEDWAYCAP Innovation Camps and future sustainable multilevel meetings. It supports the MEDWAYCAP experts in the
identification of thematic challenges, challenge owners and the related stakeholders by capitalizing the
best existing methodology for innovative and creative participatory approaches.
The guidelines describe how the MEDWAYCAP Innovation Camps integrate design thinking
principles in the project to address its general and specific objectives of defining a Mediterranean pathway
for Innovation Capitalisation toward an urban-rural integrated development of Non-Conventional Water
Resources.
