Whether you’re an industry professional, policymaker, member of a public organization, or even a citizen eager to make an impact, this is your chance to actively participate in building a bio-based future!

As part of the EU BioRADAR project, we invite you to our upcoming Co-Creation Workshop on January 22, 2025. During this interactive session, we will delve into our Replication Facility designed to foster collaboration and knowledge exchange in the industrial bio-based sector. Plus, BioRADAR is launching a free Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) aimed at equipping professionals, public sector workers, policymakers, citizens and more with the essential skills needed to understand, for governance and management in the Circular Bioeconomy.

Why Attend?

In this workshop, you’ll have the unique opportunity to collaborate with industry experts, policymakers, and innovators. Your contributions will help refine our Replication Facility and MOOC, ensuring they meet real-world needs and make a meaningful impact on the future of bio-based industries.

Date: January 22, 2025
Time: 10:00–12:00 CET
Location: Online

Your voice matters, and your insights can shape the future of sustainable industries. Join us to contribute to shaping the governance and management of the circular bioeconomy.

We are pleased to invite you to the Second Multi-Stakeholder Online Meeting of the BioReCer project, titled “Advancing Bio-Based Products Certification: A Collaborative Path Towards Sustainability”, taking place on November 27, 2024, from 15:00 to 16:30 CET.

This past year has seen significant progress and developments of the Horizon Europe project BioReCer that will greatly enhance the certification of bio-based products. We would love to share these advancements with you and gather your valuable feedback. In addition, we will inform participants about the Biomass Utilisation Factor, a new metric combining cascading use and production efficiency into one indicator to investigate the circularity of materials for the circular bioeconomy. We also value your input for an upcoming policy brief that aims to influence policymakers, helping shape the EU policy of tomorrow.

As you may know, BioReCer strengthens certification schemes to boost the acceptance of bio-based feedstock and products from biological waste, both by industry and consumers, and to enhance the competitiveness of Europe’s bio-based economy. Our goal is to address the needs of all stakeholders across the bio-based product value chain. To succeed, the project depends on the input and collaboration of a broad range of stakeholders, including: Producers and processors of bio-based feedstock, Bio-based industries, Certification Bodies, Policy Makers, Scientists, Consumers and their associations…

Your participation is crucial in driving the EU’s transition toward a more sustainable economy. This event will give you the opportunity to stay informed about the project’s achievements, monitor its progress, and see how your input can shape its future development.

The detailed agenda will be available shortly, but we encourage you to save your place now by registering [here]!

Welcome to BIOSCHAMP FINAL EVENT, an oportunity to discover the work of over four years and the present and future of the mushroom sector!

REGISTER HERE! 

During over four years BIOSCHAMP project has aimed to develop an integrated approach to tackle the mushroom cultivation challenges: an alternative and sustainable low-peat casing for the mushroom industry, reducing the need for pesticides and contributing to improving the productivity, sustainability, and the profitability of the European mushroom sector.

After all this time, the project will celebrate it’s FINAL EVENT! A great opportunity to discover the results of the project and the present and future of the mushroom Industry by the hand of some of the best experts on the sector. An opportunity that you can’t miss!

Discover the Event:

The day will start with a presentation of BIOSCHAMP results of the project after over four years of work, followed by a disccusion on future challenges of peat in Europe by the hand of Roxanne van Roojen, Researcher from Kekkila-BVB and Helen Grogan, Researcher from Teagasc Ashtown Food Research Centre.

After a coffe break, the experts will get into the relevant topic of pesticides, to discuss if the European agriculture is ready for a future without chemical pesticides, with the interventions of Annette Mathies, Portfolio Manager Mushroom from BASF, Herminia De la Varga, PhD Researcher from FERTINAGRO and the “Regulatory approach to pesticides in Spain and Europe” by Natalia Nogueira from the Spanish Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food.

Then we will discover more about two related projects:

• NOVATERRA – Integrated novel strategies for reducing the use and impact of pesticides, towards sustainable mediterranean vineyards and olive groves.
