VELTHA (www.veltha.eu) is a not-for-profit International Research Association established in Belgium in 2010 to perform Research in the field of Sustainable Development and Circular Economy. It is composed of several members involved as partners, coordinators and expert evaluators in national and international projects, including EC projects funded under FP7, INTERREG, H2020 and I3 programmes.

Veltha currently chairs “Screen-lab”, a think tank open to all regional stakeholders willing to co-create and implement circular economy policies. Since the EU “Circular economy action plan” issued in 2015, Veltha has been researching different aspects of the circular economy by adopting a bottom-up approach, involving local authorities and stakeholders to identify value chains with potential and define a monitoring framework for assessing Circular Economy projects.

These activities anticipated the recommendations of the new CE action plan published in 2020 and paved the way for Veltha to be considered a frontrunner in the research devoted to a circular economy innovation system in Europe.
