Establishing an E-Community with 
the CIRCUS Method

Our "CIRCUS Method for Emerging Groups to Establish 
an E-Community" builds on existing tools from the NWE region. 

These tools haven't been widely adopted yet, so we'll refine and adapt them to make them more accessible and practical across the region.

Partner Collaboration:

  • Project Management & Communication (LG): LG leads with strong communication skills and experienced project managers.
  • Development (CLA): CLA coordinates WP1, focusing on transnational collaboration.
  • Implementation (UT): UT oversees WP2, supporting pilot projects with expertise from across the partnership.
  • Training (EPV): EPV leads WP3, supported by partners in creating and delivering educational content.


By working together, we ensure the CIRCUS method is effectively developed, implemented, and shared across the NWE region.
