Am Donnerstag, 06. Februar 2025, organisiert das Steinbeis Europa Zentrum im Rahmen des ROBIN Projekt einen Workshop rund um das Thema „Entwicklung von Bioökonomie-Strategien und deren Monitoring in urbanen und ländlichen Räumen”.

Mit dieser Veranstaltung wollen wir Repräsentanten unterschiedlicher Länder, Regionen und Städte in urbanen und ländlichen Räumen zusammenbringen und über die Entwicklung und Implementierung von Bioökonomie-Strategien diskutieren. Wir möchten Sie herzlich einladen, Ihre Erfahrung auszutauschen und Expertise beizutragen. Während des Workshops werden wir u.a. ein Tool verwenden (Policy Monitoring System), welches im Rahmen des ROBIN-Projekts entwickelt wurde.

Der Austausch wird in drei Themenblöcke strukturiert:

1. Tools und Methodik
2. Entwicklung von Strategien
3. Implementierung und Monitoring von Strategien

Das EU-Projekt ROBIN dient dazu regionale Behörden bei der Gestaltung ihrer Governance-Strukturen und -Modelle zu unterstützen, sodass sie ihre Ziele zur erfolgreichen Etablierung einer Kreislaufwirtschaft im Bereich Bioökonomie schneller erreichen und gleichzeitig soziale Innovationen fördern und unterschiedlichen territorialen Gegebenheiten Rechnung tragen können. Zu diesem Zweck ermitteln und demonstrieren wir (das ROBIN Konsortium) das Potenzial innovativer Governance-Strukturen und -Modelle für die Kreislaufwirtschaft in fünf europäischen Regionen: Irland, Deutschland, Spanien, der Slowakei und Griechenland.

Der Workshop wird in Stuttgart in den Räumlichkeiten des Steinbeis Europa Zentrums stattfinden. Die detaillierte Agenda und den Anmeldungslink finden Sie hier.  Die Anmeldefrist für die Teilnahme an unserem Workshop ist am 29. Januar 2025.

Wir freuen uns sehr auf Ihre Teilnahme!

Dear All,

We are pleased to inform you of a new and important initiative aimed at students, promoted by AzzeroCO2 and the Project Partnership as part of the Horizon SKILLBILL project: the Green Contest.

This competition is open to European students and focuses on two main themes: the use of renewable energy sources and gender equality in STEM subjects and the green economy. The goal of this contest is to raise awareness among young people and encourage debate and reflection on topics of significant social and environmental relevance, while promoting the exchange of various types of creative works.

We believe that actively involving the younger generations is essential for building a more sustainable future. Therefore, we would like to invite your company/school/association (and so on) to support this initiative by promoting it to both teachers and students.

The contest details are as follows:

• Who can participate: Students aged between 6 and 18 years (divided into two age categories).
• Contest themes: a) The use of renewable energy sources; b) Gender equality in STEM subjects and in the green economy.
• How to participate: Each participant may submit an individual or group project (maximum of 4 members per group) in the form of a video (up to 4 minutes), an essay (up to 5 pages), a comic strip, a 3D model, a podcast (up to 4 minutes), a photograph or a photo series (up to 5 photos). Contributions must be submitted in English.
• Submission deadline: February 28, 2025.
• Awards: The best projects will be awarded according to the criteria outlined in the Terms of Reference.

All information and specifics regarding the Green Contest, its organization, and participation procedures can be found on the official Contest website. We remain at your disposal for any further details.

We thank you in advance for your attention and collaboration, and we look forward to a large participation from the students of your country.

En este taller organizado por Innovarum y el proyecto MainstreamBIO, conocerás dos iniciativas en la bioeconomía exitosas en la región: la Sociedad Cooperativa Agrícola San Lorenzo y la Ganadería La Albarda. En el evento se abordarán temas como logros conseguidos y retos han tenido que enfrentar. Además de una ronda de preguntas y respuestas, habrá un debate sobre cada caso, y se intercambiarán ideas sobre cómo favorecer el desarrollo de iniciativas similares.

¡Queremos tener tu punto de vista en el debate! Si tienes relación o experiencia en bioeconomía, o participas en una iniciativa que querría implementar este tipo de negocio, te esperamos con los brazos abiertos.

Youth Voices Driving the Future of Bioeconomy: GenB Project’s Debate Series Empowers Young Leaders!

The bioeconomy is growing increasingly vital for a sustainable future, unlocking innovative solutions from scientists, policymakers, businesses, and communities working together. With the bioeconomy offering cleaner, sustainable lifestyles, today’s youth are essential to drive this progress. However, young people are often left out of decision-making processes that will impact their futures.

The GenB project is working to change this by launching a new series of debates aimed at amplifying youth voices in bioeconomy policies. These discussions are designed to create a collaborative space where young people can express their ideas, propose solutions, and envision a future led by their generation’s dedication to sustainability.

Join us and make your voice heard! Register now!
