Selected authorities will have the opportunity to be among the first to use innovative tools and methodologies that can enhance policy implementation regarding bioeconomy.  

Benefits of Participation 

• Gain early access to tools that can enhance bioeconomy policy implementation, 

• Network and collaborate with peers across the EU and share best practices, 

• Influence the development of the ROBIN tools to fit better your needs and requirements,
