About the project: 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.

SMILEce project will:
– Identify specific processes and services for circular economy in the entire craft brewing value chain
– Certify (through the learning objects developed in the project) the competences for circular brewing
– Improve and update work-based learning methodologies
