'Czech contribution to sustainable bioeconomy', Brussels, Belgium
31 May 2012 - 31 May 2012
Belgium
An event entitled 'Czech contribution to sustainable bioeconomy' will take place on 31 May in Brussels, Belgium.
A bioeconomy is one that is based on ecologically sensitive products and services produced by the use of biotechnology and renewable energy sources. It paves the way to a more innovative, resource efficient and competitive society that reconciles food security with the sustainable use of renewable resources for industrial purposes while ensuring environmental protection.
In February 2012, the European Commission for Research, Innovation and Science, Máire Geoghegan-Quinn presented the Commission's new bioeconomy strategy entitled 'Innovating for Sustainable Growth: a Bioeconomy for Europe'. The strategy seeks to help drive the transition from a fossil-based economy to a sustainable bioeconomy in Europe.
The aim of this conference will be to provide a view on this strategy from different actors and introduce the potential of the Czech Republic in the area of sustainable bioeconomy.
Organised under the auspices of the Permanent Representation of the Czech Republic to the EU and in cooperation with the Ministry of Agriculture of the Czech Republic and with the Technology Centre AS CR, the conference will be a forum for bringing together policymakers, researchers, industry representatives and end users.For further information, please visit: http://www.czelo.cz/dokums_raw/invitation_bioeconomy.pdf(opens in new window)
