Made in Italy Circolare e Sostenibile (MICS – CUP F13C22001230001) is an Extended Partnership funded by MUR (Ministero dell’Università e della Ricerca) under the NextGenerationEU program and it represents one of the projects concerning the PNRR Mission 4 “Education and Research”. MICS’s vision is to enable a fully closed-loop, self-sufficient, self-regenerative, reliable, safe, and energy-aware design and manufacturing of Made in Italy products and services. The project, which provides for ministerial funding of almost 114.5 million euros and the participation of 54 public and private partners is divided in 8 thematic areas, named “Spokes” that need to be focused on to address the challenges that currently confront our models of design, production, consumption, as well as the End-of-Life of materials, products, production technologies and processes that are necessary for moving towards greener and circular pathways and patterns. Initially the most characteristic industries of the Italian industrial will be within the scope of MICS: Fashion, Furniture and Automation, but there is a possibility for extending the research to other industries.
