About CERCOM
CERCOM is a CEDR project funded through the Call 2020 Resource Efficiency and Circular Economy funded by Denmark, Ireland, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
The CERCOM project is developing an innovative risk based framework and management tool to facilitate a step change in the adoption of RE & CE principles in procurement and multi-lifecycle management by NRAs across Europe.
Implementation of CE has the potential to tackle the root causes of global challenges such as climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution whilst at the same time providing regenerative design for generations to come.
Our Team
CERCOM brings together leading European researchers, academics, engineers and consultants, who are well placed to deliver on the objectives of resource efficiency and circular economy.

CEDR
The CEDR Transnational Research Programme (TRP) operates through a series of annual transnational calls on topics that address the needs of European road authorities.
To address some of the challenges associated with improving resource efficiency (RE) and transforming to a circular economy, the Conference of European Directors of Roads (CEDR) launched a Transnational Road Research Programme Call 2020, managed by the Danish Road Directorate.
Call 2020 Resource Efficiency and Circular Economy
The aim of this research programme is to accelerate the transition of the road infrastructure sector in Europe, from linear economy, into resource efficient circular economy.
CEDR (Conference of European Directors of Roads)
CEDR is an organisation of European national road administrations promoting excellence in the management of roads.
The CEDR Strategy comprises the Vision, Mission and Strategic Goals.
