The EU project department transfers the best-practice local and regional sustainable development approaches to the European level. Together with communities and regions, research institutes and companies from the EU 27, as well as from the accession countries, regional material flow management and its various facets are discussed, developed and implemented in the European context.

These interdisciplinary projects are supported by various EU funding programmes and provide us the opportunity to exchange experiences and knowledge and together meet the challenges of sustainable development across the continent. In order to achieve this common goal, our department is involved in a number of activities ranging from project development and fundraising to the coordination of European consortiums and project management.
