Move to a Circular Economy in Poland – Current State and Perspectives
A circular economy means a continuous re-use and recycle of materials. It requires a new design of products so that they last longer, and become more repairable, reusable and recyclable and implementation of new technologies but also a change of societal mindset. Transformation towards a zero-waste economy and society entrains costs but also brings about benefits.
The European Commission is currently working on a legislative package on the circular economy that should become the EU law in the period 2016-2019.
The aim of the conference is to discuss how circular economy is implemented in Poland, what are the main challenges and benefits stemming from this process. This exchange of opinions will be a contribution to the EU deliberations.

PRESENTATIONS
The European Committee of the Regions (CoR) offers MOOC “EU budget and funding for regions and cities”
The European Committee of the Regions (CoR) offers this MOOC to contribute to capacity-building of regional and local authorities with regard to EU affairs, more particularly on EU budget and funding for regions and cities. While regions and cities matter in EU policy-making, they may have a limited knowledge of how the EU budget works and what are the possibilities for accessing EU funds. The course will attempt to fill this knowledge gap.
This MOOC has been co-created with the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the European Commission – Directorate-General for Regional and Urban Policy (DG REGIO) and Directorate-General for Budget (DG BUDG).
The course consists of videos, factsheets, infographics and web-streamed live debates with Q&A from the course participants. Moreover, course followers can interact and contribute via social media and fora. The course will last six weeks, starting on 31 October and ending on 9 December 2016. Studying time is about two hours per week. The course material will remain available online until 31 July 2017.

Seminar – UAS4EUROPE: Smart Partnerships for Regional Impact
Energy efficiency improvements in the health sector – best practices in European regions
The seminar is organised for the 5th time by the Regional Office of Silesia in Brussels, in cooperation with the States of North Rhine-Westphalia, the Nord-Pas-de-Calais Representation in Brussels and the Polish Science Contact Agency “PolSCA” of the Polish Academy of Sciences.
Healthcare facilities are among the most energy-intensive ones. The EU healthcare sector plays a major role in Europe’s economy. Greater attention has to be given to constructing more energy-efficient buildings across the EU. There should also be more emphasis on renewable heating systems and moves towards cleaner fuels.
The aim of the seminar is to provide an opportunity for local, regional and EU stakeholders to discuss options, best practices and solutions in the field of energy solutions in the medical sector and also in connection with the use of renewable energy.
