The core theme for Science Week 2020 is ‘Choosing our Future’; focusing on how science can improve our lives in the future, and in the present.
EU research project with the participation of the University of Hohenheim searches for new, sustainable food additives and packaging materials from seaweeds and seagrasses.
23 Partners from 10 Countries and 8 Lighthouse Cities/Regions to Deploy Circular Bioeconomy Solutions for Making Innovative Bio-Based Products
The paper explains how BBI JU has contributed to a systemic change in the European bio-based industries sector. The authors also explain the functioning of this public-private partnership and its major achievements.
This partnership aims to contribute to the development of new models, innovations, policies and investments in the field of forest bioeconomy and promote the collaboration of regions and regional actors at a European level.
The Commission has adopted the forest reference levels (FRLs) for each Member State to apply between 2021 and 2025. FRLs are benchmarks to calculate the sum of greenhouse gas removals and emissions from existing forests in each Member State. CO2 removal from existing forestland is the backbone of the EU land use sink.
The European Commission launched a new Knowledge Centre for Biodiversity: a one-stop shop for science-based evidence to protect the natural ecosystems that provide us with food, medicines, materials, recreation, and wellbeing.
A ‘women’s pastime’ practised by Queen Victoria, ‘seaweeding’ spread from the UK to California – now the samples are providing a glimpse into history
The European Parliament gave a “go” to the Com Agri Report on the “European Forest Strategy – the way forward”. This plenary vote sent a positive signal for forest owners and managers and the 4 million workers involved in the forestry value chains.
The “Wood in Construction Systems Map,” developed by the University of Edinburgh, aims to uncover ways to increase the carbon benefits of wood fibre in UK construction. The map is part of EIT Climate-KIC’s Landscapes as Carbon Sinks Deep Demonstration in Scotland, a project aiming to help the country’s landscape systems decarbonise, adapt and increase resilience to climate change, and foster a bioeconomy—the sustainable extraction and production of natural resources, like wood.
This call aims to support innovative, collaborative pan-European, R&D&I projects, which should contribute to safe, environmentally friendly, reliable and economical bioenergy production. The focus is on technology readiness levels 2-7 (at the end of the funded project). The projects should address new implementation pathways supporting decarbonisation of industry and demonstration of best practice examples. Furthermore, the linkage to circular economy especially in industry sectors has to be stressed more, e.g. by using biomass based waste as fuel or feedstock.
An international exhibition with an innovative format that brings together all sectors of the circular economy in a single platform: from material and energy recovery to sustainable development.
Join us for the European Circular Economy Stakeholder Conference, the main event for circular economy in Europe!
A unique satellite dataset on the world's tropical forests is now available for all to see and use.It's a high-resolution image map covering 64 countries that will be updated monthly.
The BioMonitor project has published a series of scientific papers that analyses Europe’s bioeconomy strategy in the context of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and provide different policy scenarios in 30 years’ time.
Consisting of 11 goals altogether, How We Tread Right is a five year plan for a regenerative return to travel, following the industry-wide halt this year.
Bioeconomy Ireland Week Map Series released by Teagasc.
This event aims to understand and discuss the public perceptions of forests, forestry and the forest-based bioeconomy. How is media and science shaping the public perception of forests in Europe? How can public understanding and communication on the role of forests and forestry be improved?
