Building a Circular Business

Welcome to Arca’s Online Training Programme

Arca is a collaborative research project that delivers workshops and training programmes to individuals, microbusinesses and SMEs, supporting them to move towards circular economic models. Led by the University of Exeter, the project is part-funded through the European Social Fund (part of the European Strategic Investment Framework for Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly). This enables us to offer FREE training programmes. To comply with our funding requirements, please complete and sign paperwork as requested.

The course will be led by Guy Hopkinson, Research Fellow at Sustainable Futures, University of Exeter and Stefano Pascucci, Professor of Circular Economy at the University of Exeter, and supported by colleagues from the Arca Project team.
