Project description DEENESFRITPL Tackling climate change in rural hubs Climate change is already happening in Europe. Rural areas know it well, as they have been experiencing many negative impacts on their economies. For instance, both droughts and floods are increasingly common. The EU-funded RuralBioUp project will strengthen the cooperation among regional key actors and knowledge holders in order to support bio-based business models in rural areas. In particular, RuralBioUp will establish nine regional hubs across six EU countries that will co-design and implement nine action plans on 18 value chains. Those areas will be empowered by RuralBioUp’s partners with mentoring, coaching and training activities in the implementation of their action plans. A digital tool, the RuralBioUp One-Stop-Shop, will support regional actors in making science-based decisions. Show the project objective Hide the project objective Objective Climate change will require concerted innovative ideas and actions at the local/regional level. A sustainable European bioeconomy will not only ensure the protection of the environment and biodiversity, but will also drive the renewal of European industries, the modernisation of primary production systems and lead to the creation of jobs, particularly in rural areas, through the active participation of all regional stakeholders in their local bioeconomies. RuralBioUp project will strengthen the cooperation among regional key actors and knowledge holders, empowering them to establish an inclusive and long-lasting ecosystem (the RuralBioUp Regional Hubs) to support the mainstreaming of bio-based business models in rural areas. In particular, RuralBioUp will establish 9 Regional Hubs (30 stakeholders per Hub) in 6 EU countries, that will co-design and implement 9 Action Plans on 18 value chains. Regional Hubs will be empowered by RuralBioUp's partners with mentoring, coaching and training activities in the implementation of their Action Plans. Thanks to this, at least (a.l.) 1.000 innovators will be supported (through networking events and study visits) and a.l. 50 new collaborations fostered (e.g. partnership agreements between companies and/or farmers, solutions funded, etc.) to adopt small-scale bio-based solutions in rural areas. The project will leverage synergies between existing EU networks (EuBioNet, BioEast, etc.), clusters, and regional organisations and will build upon previous research results (Power4Bio, BE-RURAL, Enabling, Transition2Bio, Biovoices, etc.) by integrating and extending the existing knowledge and data in order to propose different rural business models and new bio-based value chains in the targeted regions, through the realisation of a digital tool (the RuralBioUp One-Stop-Shop) supporting regional actors to take science-based and informed decisions.
