D5.2 Policy Recommendation – Mid Project

This report addresses RISERS’ 4th objective. Specifically, it aims to specify needs for policy measures based on the current results of RISERS in its WP5, particularly regarding regulation, incentives, subsidies, and public procurement. This report presents the implications of the first interview series and of additional learnings from internal and external sources, in particular of our policy review and RISERS WPs 3 and 6. Its creation was embedded in various interlinked activities, including also analyses of relevant literature and the current state in the project’s WP5, WP3 (“Gaps and opportunities analysis for priority synergies”), and WP6 (“Roadmap for industrial symbiosis standardisation”) regarding relevant topics.
