Preparing the creation of Bio-Based Education Centres to meet industry needs and boost the contribution of the bioeconomy to societal challenges
The BIObec project aims to build bridges between the bio-based industry and the education system by interlinking universities, innovation labs, and R&D centers with industrial actors and regions.
In order to achieve this, the project proposes a holistic framework that merges the traditional idea of an education center, with that of a knowledge hub.
BIObec will establish multi-level Bio-Based Education Centres (BBECs) to act as knowledge hubs bridging the gaps between academic institutions, students, innovation entities, and policymakers. Likewise, the BBECs will be flexible enough to answer the actual and future needs of the industry and surrounding ecosystem at local, regional, and national levels.
