Although the Composting in Rural Environments (CORE) project will officially continue until early 2027, its Final Event will take place on 21–22 October 2026 in Almagro and Bolaños de Calatrava, Ciudad Real, Spain.
The event will bring together project partners and experts to reflect on the project’s achievements, share experiences and discuss the future of bio-waste management.
The programme will start with a presentation by RSUSA, the CORE Lead Partner, looking back at the project’s history, cooperation and key results. An interactive workshop led by Ramón Plana, Conusltant on Organic waste Management, will then explore the knowledge and practices transferred between partner territories, lessons learned and opportunities for replication.
A further session will focus on future challenges in bio-waste management, including the transition towards resource recovery and the role of organic matter in strengthening rural areas and local communities. Contributions from the Ministry for Ecological Transition and Demographic Challenge of Spain (MITECO) and the European Compost Network (ECN) will provide national and European perspectives, followed by a discussion with the audience.
The programme will also include two study visits, offering practical insights into the topics addressed during the project.
The Final Event will provide an opportunity to celebrate the results of three years of cooperation while looking ahead to the future of bio-waste management beyond CORE.
The last event of the meeting will be broadcast on the YouTube channels of ECN, Composta en Red and ANEPMA networks (further information coming soon).
