SMILEce – Circular Microbrewers is an Erasmus+ project led by Changemaker. The project partnership is formed by 6 different institutions coming from six European countries (Germany, Ireland, Lithuania, Slovenia, Spain & Sweden.)
The SMILECE project targets the ever evolving Craft Beer/independent Brewery industry in Europe, and builds on the outputs of the previous SMILE project. SMILECE is offering incumbents and new entrants, exposure to new techniques, culture and ideas from circular economy (CE) which has recently gained traction in European policymaking as a positive, solutions-based perspective for achieving economic development within increasing environmental constraints.
The main outcome of the project will be the SMILEce platform, which together with the learning objects, other resources and its pedagogical model will respond to both the EU/National priorities and the needs identified within the sector.
