Who we are
The EcoLoop project
The EcoLoop project (Embedding Circular Economy Thinking in European HEIs through AI and Gamification), co-funded by the European Union, seeks to innovate green entrepreneurship education in higher education by integrating circular economy principles, artificial intelligence and gamification.
The project was selected under the 2024 Erasmus+ call, within the KA220-HED – Cooperation Partnerships in Higher Education action.
Green economy
Circular economy competences
The project focuses on one of today’s most urgent educational and societal challenges: preparing higher education students to thrive in the green economy. By combining sustainability, entrepreneurship and digital innovation, EcoLoop represents a qualitative step forward in the way circular economy competences are developed and assessed in European higher education.
Hightlights & Results
One of the main highlights of EcoLoop is the creation of practical and innovative learning resources to support both students and higher education institutions. These include a Competence Framework for HEIs on Green Entrepreneurship, an AI-based Gamified Eco-Entrepreneur Readiness Evaluator, and a Gamified e-learning platform focused on Green Entrepreneurship.
Through these results, EcoLoop aims to democratise access to entrepreneurial education focused on the circular economy, foster equal opportunities in the labour market and empower higher education students with the knowledge and skills needed to contribute to sustainable development, job creation and long-term societal resilience.
Our Partners
The project brings together a European consortium coordinated by Association Nouvelle EDC in France, with partners from France, Spain and Türkiye, combining expertise in higher education, climate action, entrepreneurship, gamification, digital learning and artificial intelligence.
