Project

“Clean technologies for sustainable environment – waters, waste, energy for circular economy“ (Clean&Circle) for creation and development of a Centre of Competence

On April 16, 2026, the Clean&Circle Centre of Competence welcomed 26 teachers in the field of vocational education and training (VET) from Kosovo and Bosnia and Herzegovina. During the visit, innovations and applied scientific developments in the Centre’s laboratories were presented, with a focus on circular economy solutions, resource management, and sustainable technologies.

A special emphasis was placed on the Clean&Circle Technology Entrepreneurship Accelerator, which demonstrated how scientific results can be transformed into real market solutions. The guests were introduced to the accelerator’s working model – from initial technology assessment, through business model development and validation with industry, to preparation for implementation and access to funding.
 
The visit was part of the activities of the GreenBridge project, aimed at VET teachers in the Western Balkans, with the goal of developing and integrating green and digital skills into training programmes. As part of the train-the-trainers programme (April 14–17, 2026, Bulgaria), Cleantech Bulgaria presented the developed green skills courses and best practices for practical training, demonstrating how scientific expertise and innovation can be effectively transferred into the educational environment.
