Think Biobased Challenge

The Think Biobased Challenge invites European College or University students, to design Biobased educational material that students will never forget.
Help creating a better environment and win prizes just by doing so!

We are all on the verge of a transition to a world in which we want and need to be less dependent on fossil raw materials. In the transition to this world, we aim for an economy that runs on biomass as a raw material.
For this transition to a Biobased Economy we need brilliant minds in the future. The road there already starts in primary education (9-12 years old), secondary education (13-16 years old) and secondary vocational education (17-22 years old).

You are an European College or University student and we challenge you to develop innovative teaching materials that can be used to draw attention to the Biobased Economy. Not in a boring lesson, but in such a way that this learning experience can always stay with you. How cool is it when students throughout Europe get to work with a Biobased Lesson that you have created? Moreover, a total prize money of € 9.000,- will be divided among the best entrants!

Do you want to share your experience for BioBridges case studies?

Do you want to share your experience for BioBridges case studies?

Posted on by Louis Ferrini

In the context of the BBI JU funded project Biobridges we are writing Case Studies and conducting interviews to sort out how BRANDS are addressing the sustainability issues and which are their approaches, what are the barriers and needs, to better target services and support.

The project aims to foster cross-sector partnerships between Bio-Based Industries, Brand owners and Consumer representatives, for improving the marketability of sustainable bio-based products.

If you are working as procurer, sustainability manager or communicator responsible for these strategies for a Brand or you want to suggest someone to contact, please write us an email to info@fvaweb.it.

We would greatly appreciate your help,

Brokerage Event – Smart and Innovative Precision Farming

Brokerage Event – Smart and Innovative Precision Farming

Posted on by Louis Ferrini

The Danube macro-region provides ideal framework conditions for the area of smart and innovative
precision farming due to high-quality natural resources, long tradition, well-known universities and SMEs operating in given area. However, the region is still lagging behind its possibilities and missing links between research and innovation hamper the access to required knowledge and resources.

In such a context, the Union of Slovak Clusters (UKS) organised, on the 26 November 2018, a matchmaking event to bring together the representatives of SMEs, R&D institutions and academia to foster local innovation capacity through good practices examples and knowledge exchange in the area of smart and innovative precision farming.

The event took place in Nitra, Slovakia in the context of the Made in Danube project funded by the Interreg Danube Transnational Programme.

BIOVOICES project, its goals and related events were presented by PEDAL representative.
