Since 1 October 2021, EDA has been managing the Incubation Forum for Circular Economy in European Defence (IF CEED) to apply the EU Green Deal’s Circular Economy approach to the European defence sector based on a cooperative community involving EU Member States’ Ministries of Defence (MoDs), European defence industry, research-and-technology-organisations (RTOs), financial institutions and academia. IF CEED is currently co-funded by the EU LIFE programme and the Italian Ministry of Defence.
