Circular Furniture Labs is an initiative of the CirCLER project. This activity is designed to promote accessibility, dissemination, and the practical use of the results, knowledge and practices achieved within the project, ensuring they directly benefit the sector.

The CirCLER project is now in the stage of finalising the content for the curriculum for future Circular Economy Transition Managers (CETM). However, it is important to recognise the prior knowledge that users may have before attempting the curriculum. While the curriculum is built to provide a complete view of managing circular transitions in the furniture industry, it is also to be offered to individuals who may only want to upskill in certain areas. 

The VI International Forest Industry Forum “Ukraine’s Forest Sector: Present and Future” was held in Lviv, uniting key voices in forestry, woodworking, furniture manufacturing, education and governance. Co-organized by the Ukrainian National Forestry University (UNFU), the Forum has become a vital international platform for dialogue and strategic cooperation across the forest-based sector.

The CirCLER project partners have met in Brașov on May 8 and 9, 2025, at the Faculty of Furniture Design and Wood Engineering of the Transilvania University of Brașov (UNITBV), Romania. The objective of the CirCLER project is to define a new qualification profile and the development of new curricula for the Circular Economy Transition Manager (CETM) for the furniture industry.
