Project description
Cooperation of BIOEAST countries to transition to sustainable bioeconomies
The bioeconomy has been identified as a priority due to the promising bio-based value chains, which have the potential to act as a solution towards achieving sustainable economic models. In response to this, the BIOEAST Initiative was established in 2016 with its 11 Central Eastern European and Baltic countries to play a key role in helping the macroregion in its transition to circular bioeconomies. The EU-funded BOOST4BIOEAST project, in support of the Initiative, aims to connect bioeconomy stakeholders with policy makers through national expert communities (BIOEAST HUBs) to strengthen their engagement in bioeconomy policy, research and innovation. To that aim, it will develop national bioeconomy action plans and set up long-lasting structures for cooperation and networking at national and macroregional levels.
Objective
The BOOST4BIOEAST project aims to set in motion the levers for bioeconomy deployment in the Central Eastern European and Baltic countries. The consortium will focus on building upon BIOEASTsUP outcomes and the Vision Paper of the BIOEAST Initiative by boosting the participation of national stakeholder networks in the development of national bioeconomy action plans and to build long-lasting structures for national and macro-regional cooperation. The BIOEAST HUBs will be the national platforms directly linked to public administrations under which capacities are built and the different stakeholders of the bioeconomy are mobilised to more effectively contribute to and take part in decision-making processes using participatory approaches. BIOEAST-wide mapping of bioeconomy competencies and biomass will be undertaken to advance the knowledge on bioeconomy in the macro-region as well as BIOEAST Knowledge Platform will be created to act as repository of knowledge materials and relevant information on bioeconomy that will allow BIOEAST´s stakeholders to access, share and store bioeconomy-related materials towards developing national BIOEAST HUBs into active contributors to bioeconomy in each member state. In order to boost bioeconomy innovation and education in the BIOEAST countries, the project will bring together public and private funders with relevant business stakeholders and expand the BIOEAST UNI NET network. Activities such as training, reskilling, awareness spreading and communication channels creation will set the basis of the bioeconomic transition, creating spaces of dialogue and involvement among all agents of the industry (academia, private and public), which will boost the stakeholders engagement for the integration of programmes and policies in turn of bioeconomy. The hereby proposed consortium is composed of stakeholders of all BIOEAST member states along with partners distributed throughout Western Europe (BE, FI, GER, IE, IT& ES).
