Project description
Communities of practice to increase knowledge on bioeconomy
The bioeconomy plays a crucial role in the circular and low-carbon economy. As such, the EU allocates significant resources to research and innovation to advance this field. The EU-funded BLOOM project will establish open and informed dialogues, involving European citizens, civil society, bioeconomy innovation networks, local research centres, and various stakeholders at different levels of government, including the European Commission. The project will create five hubs (communities of practice) that will develop, explore and validate workshops and outreach activities tailored to the specific regional needs of stakeholders. These efforts aim to enhance awareness and knowledge of the bioeconomy, providing reliable insights into its practices, benefits and implications while promoting learning and education.
Objective
The main objective of this project is to establish open and informed dialogues, co-created by European citizens, the civil society, bioeconomy innovation networks, local research centers, business and industry stakeholders and various levels of government including the European Commission. BLOOM will elaborate five hubs (communities of practice) that will allow for an iterative process that involves with all stakeholders through various cycles of value development, enabling cross-fertilization and idea generation through shared knowledge and experiences. In co-created workshops outreach activities will be designed, explored and validated that are exactly adapted to the regional needs of the stakeholders.
The interactions aim to
(a) raise awareness and knowledge on bioeconomy by enabling open and informed dialogue throughout the bioeconomy innovation processes (b) build up and strengthen a bioeconomy community, (c) gain a common understanding of the concept, providing reliable insights into bioeconomies, its practices, benefits and implications (d) foster learning and education. With that, the project will support the reduction of existing barriers towards a bioeconomy and stimulate bioeconomy activities at the regional and EU level.
