Deadline of the call: 18 September 2024, 17:00

Aim of the project: In the planned CSA project, the consortium intends to mobilise bioeconomy stakeholders and support bio-based R&I in underrepresented European countries and regions according to a holistic approach centred around creating an open and accessible online community of practice. This online hub will be supported by a portfolio of project activities from background research to developing training programmes and organising awareness-raising events. 

The coordinator would like to invite:

- A university or NGO partner (preferably from an EU14 or Switzerland) with relevant expertise to strengthen their bioeconomy research and analysis efforts, exploring bioeconomy R&I drivers and gaps in Widening EU regions, as well as to developing online and in-person trainings to key research support personnel and NCPs in this field. Previous experience and expertise with the development of online trainings would be an asset.

- A research institute, association, or NGO (from a Widening CEE, Mediterranean country or Switzerland) with a wide network of connections to play a key role in reaching out to stakeholders involved in the agri-food value chain, promoting innovation towards sustainable and high-value bio-based products, as well as supporting their stakeholder engagement, capacity-building, and awareness-raising efforts.
