3F Green Model holds final event in Asturias

 

Partners and stakeholders in the Interreg Europe project 3F Green Model met in Oviedo, Asturias, on 30 September and 1 October 2026 for the project’s final event. The two days combined a review of project results, thematic workshops and study visits to research and innovation centres in the region. Around 30 participants attended.

 

The event opened at the RIDEA building in the Palacio del Conde de Toreno, Oviedo, with a Steering Committee meeting where partners reported on what the project has achieved. Two thematic workshops followed. The first, led by the Asturian partners, focused on good practices identified through the project. It included a presentation from Verónica Menéndez, CEO of Agrolinera, a company that digitises the collection of slurry and whey so that both can be recovered, helping to sustain traditional livestock farming.

 

The second workshop was led by the Hincks Centre at Munster Technological University and explored how strategic clarity methodologies can help circular businesses succeed.

In the afternoon, participants visited two of the region’s research centres: CETEMAS, the Wood Technological and Forestry Center Foundation, and ASINCAR, the Principality of Asturias Meat Industry Research Association. The day closed with a guided tour of Oviedo’s old town.

 

On the second day, participants visited CTIC RuralTech, a rural innovation centre, and the Universidad Laboral.

As the project draws to a close, partners will publish their policy achievements and highlight good practices in the circular economy across food and forestry value chains.

 

 

3F Green Model is co-funded by the European Union through the Interreg Europe programme.
