At the end of 2016, the City Council of Burgos and the University of Burgos-ICCRAM have signed a Collaboration Agreement with the aim of fostering and supporting industrial development and knowledge transfer through R&D. The result of this collaboration process has been the initiative “Platform for Industrial Innovation in Burgos”, by which Burgos aims to become a pilot city in Circular Economy at Regional, National and European level. This Platform underlies not only as a catalyst for industrial innovation in Burgos, but it will also step further making the city of Burgos a European reference model in the EU Action Plan for Circular Economy. The Platform also aims to catalyse the industrial innovation in the Region of Castilla y León by promoting the cooperation with other regions and fostering the innovations to be mirrored across EU, thus becoming University of Burgos-ICCRAM a political and strategic partner in the Region in the transition towards Circular Economy.
