Università degli studi di Bari Aldo Moro

Il progetto BIOVOICES, finanziato dalla Commissione Europea che mira a promuovere il dialogo tra i vari gruppi di stakeholder, ha organizzato un Mobilization and Mutual Learning (MML) Workshop dal titolo “La Bioeconomia come opportunità di sviluppo regionale basato sulle risorse territoriali in Puglia”

L’evento si terrà a Bari il 19 marzo 2019 presso l’Università degli studi di Bari Aldo Moro in collaborazione con Assobiotec, Biocosì, CNR, Cluster SPRING, EggPlant, European Bioeconomy Network, Federchimica,  FVA New Media Research, GRACE, MISTRAL, Power4Bio, Università degli studi di Bari Aldo Moro,VALUEMAG, e avrà come obiettivo quello di favorire il coinvolgimento e la collaborazione tra gli attori locali, per identificare opportunità di sviluppo territoriale che siano in grado di valorizzare le caratteristiche regionali e le risorse esistenti.

Il workshop sarà organizzato in due sessioni, che affronteranno le sfide e opportunità rappresentate da

  • SEABlue BioEconomy
  • LANDAgri-food, Forestry BioEconomy e Urban waste

Ogni sessione presenterà casi di studio, che forniranno spunti ed esempi pratici per stimolare la discussione durante la successiva tavola rotonda, nella quale  gli stakeholder della Quadruple Helix lavoreranno sulle sfide, opportunità e barriere per promuovere lo sviluppo regionale.

Il taglio della giornata sarà pratico per generare idee e stimolare possibili collaborazioni tra gli stakeholders partecipanti per promuovere lo sviluppo sostenibile reso possibile dalla bioeconomia nella specifica realtà territoriale pugliese.

I risultati del workshop verranno presentati il giorno seguente (20 marzo 2019) durante la Presentazione del 5° Rapporto sulla Bioeconomia in Europa, di Banca Intesa in collaborazione con Assobiotec e Cluster SPRING.

Building sustainable value chains for the bio-based industry

Building sustainable value chains for the bio-based industry

From biomass production to commercialisation, multiple barriers need to be overcome for the market uptake of bio-based products in Europe. Within the BIOrescue project, partners have developed an innovative biorefinery concept to transform lignocellulosic biomass feedstock, including used mushroom compost, into novel bio-based products.

Looking towards the project’s end, the BIOrescue consortium is pleased to invite all interested stakeholders, including partners from other biorefinery projects, to join them in a dedicated workshop to be held in the morning of 28 February in Mainz, Germany, to discuss the challenges and opportunities arising from the exploitation of sustainable biomass sources in Europe for the commercialisation of new bio-based products.

To explore this topic, EU-funded projects and industry stakeholders will present the support measures implemented in terms of infrastructure development, standardisation and market uptake for bio-based products. In that sense, all participating partners will also be invited to pitch their concept and ideas for the development of the European bio-based industry and to present or discover inspirational examples of biorefinery projects at the occasion of the poster session organised during the coffee break.

Outcomes from the discussion will feed the BIOrescue project’s policy recommendations to support the development of a bio-based economy in the agro-food industry. These will be presented to a panel of policy makers at the project final event on 4 April 2019 in Brussels.

Join our workshop to exchange ideas and voice your opinion on the future of the European bio-based industry sector. Are you interested in pitching your biorefinery concept and / or presenting a poster to feed the discussions? You can indicate it in the registration form and seize this opportunity to network with your future partners.

BioCannDo Think Biobased Challenge for students

BioCannDo Think Biobased Challenge for students

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!
