Towards a Sustainable Bioeconomy - 21-23 October 2015, Barcelona (via Research & Innovation)

Moving towards a bioeconomy is one of the key policy strategies of the EU. Its vision is of a knowledge-based Europe turning to green growth via innovation, which presents opportunities for the agricultural and forest-based sectors. Sustainable production of renewable resources will be needed, with the conversion of these resources and waste streams into value added products, such as food, feed, bio-based products and bioenergy. Even though we currently lack a transparent and common understanding of the definition of a bioeconomy, we require improved tools and assessment methodologies to ensure that this intensified use of renewable biological resources is done sustainably. The Towards a Sustainable Bioeconomy conference aims to support this vision: showcasing science-based results through an open forum to help identify and implement sustainable opportunities for the bioeconomy by fostering scientific exchange (Day 1, the Science Day), organizing Science-Policy-Practice interaction (Day 2), and developing persuasive solutions (Day 3).
