CEA
SLR
SLR is a global leader in environmental and advisory solutions: helping clients achieve their sustainability goals. SLR has proven track records in several different sectors, such as mining & minerals, manufacturing & industry, built environment, energy and power. SLR and its affiliated entity Vectos GmbH have gained considerable EU project experience in coordination and WP leader roles in Horizon 2020 projects. In CIRPASS, SLR is in charge of the administrative and financial management. SLR will also input technical knowledge in relation to the Data, Standards and Prototypes.
Fraunhofer
Fraunhofer IZM is one of the world’s leading institutes for applied research and the development and system integration of robust and reliable electronics. IZM holds a large steadily-available network of stakeholders from raw material extractors, designer, manufacturer, distribution, policy makers, procurement, environmental NGOs, certification bodies, repairers/reuse, waste treaters, recycling. In CIRPASS, they are responsible for leading the activities developed under the identification of available or potentially relevant data that would generate a beneficial impact on circularity and sustainability when made accessible in a tailored manner to target stakeholders by a DPP.
Wuppertal Institut
Chalmers Industriteknik
The Chalmers Industriteknik Foundation was founded in 1984 by Chalmers University of Technology with the aim of strengthening Swedish innovation capacity and utilising research. Their mission is to identify, initiate and run innovation projects with great potential to contribute to sustainable societal development. In CIRPASS, they will be working on the identification of available or potentially relevant data that would generate a beneficial impact on circularity and sustainability when made accessible in a tailored manner to target stakeholders by a DPP.
DKE
DKE collaborates to create standards that guarantee the safety of electrical products and systems. SCI 4.0 is a joint initiative of DKE, DIN and the German industry associations Bitkom, VDMA and ZVEI and orchestrates all standardisation activities for digitising industry on behalf of the German “Plattform Industrie 4.0”, Germany’s central network among all societal stakeholders for driving forward digitalisation in manufacturing. In CIRPASS, DKE will coordinate standardisation activities and will lead the development of the roadmap with recommendations for standardisation of the key aspects and key data for a cross-sectorial digital product passport, considering also the three separate value chain specific standardisation requirements.
GTS
The Global Textile Scheme Initiative is a group of currently 25 companies from major textile and fashion-relevant ICT providers, industry associations, production material suppliers and fashion brands. GTS is an enabling method and technology which will abandon obsolete manual processes and, besides increasing efficiency, will be a necessary tool to generate all kind of relevant data for CSR and sustainability transparency and circular economy. In CIRPASS, GTS is leading the Textile value chain team and will collaborate with expertise on product classification and data standardisation, as well as in DPP technical blueprint identification.
+ IMPAKT
+ImpaKT is a private consulting company located in Luxembourg, with the mission to raise awareness, promote innovation and build a network that inspires and helps organisations, businesses and individuals to move towards a circular economy. In CIRPASS, +Impakt is providing expertise based on the results and learnings of the PCDS initiative and will contribute to the definition of the minimum and cross-sector data set and on the identification of business cases and added values related to the Digital Product Passport data.
F6S
F6S Innovation drives technology growth with public funding programmes. They boost the growth and scaling of founders, startups, SMEs and other actors in the innovation ecosystem by managing public funded programmes. In CIRPASS, F6S is in charge of establishing and implementing the communication and strategy of the project, including the creation and feeding of the communication channels to disseminate the results of the project.
ERCIM
The GEIE ERCIM (European Research Consortium for Informatics and Mathematics) is a cooperation of leading IT-Research institutions like INRIA, FORTH and CNR. It is also the host of the World Wide Web Consortium for EMEA. ERCIM/W3C actively promotes the Web of Data, Linked Data and the Semantic Web. In CIRPASS, they will provide expertise in linked data and data annotations; architecture of distributed systems; data interoperability; metadata interoperability; metadata formats; and vocabularies, taxonomies, ontologies.
