Supporting the development of the bioeconomy by strengthening the European science-policy interface

Objectives

BIOMODEL4REGIONS aims to support the implementation of innovative governance models at local/regional level to achieve better-informed decision-making, social engagement and innovation. The aim is to support and strengthen European and international science-policy interfaces to achieve sustainable development goals.

BIOMODEL4REGIONS will aim to achieve the following main objectives:

  • Define options for a supportive governance structure and related capabilities for regional authorities.
  • Support for local economic and implementation authorities, including bioeconomy clusters, to improve the commitment of regional and local players.
  • Analysis of the regional policy mix related to the bioeconomy to understand potentials, bottlenecks and opportunities, capacities for raw materials, infrastructure, investment, human skills, innovation players.
  • Analysis, development and updating of business models to enable consumers, SMEs, producers and local authorities to switch to socially and environmentally responsible behavior.
  • Development of best practice guidelines for local operators and innovation developers, supporting climate neutrality and low environmental footprint improvements to biobased products and services.
  • Integrating the opportunities created by the local bioeconomy into a broader transition to the bioeconomy.
  • Ensure the effective exchange of best practices and the commitment of all stakeholders through solid, transparent communication and awareness-raising campaigns.
  • Replicate the results of the project throughout Europe, by contributing to the Circular Cities and Regions Initiative (CCRI).
