This discussion on 12 December 2022 will explore how the circular economy can be an essential tool in helping us achieve our biodiversity and climate goals.
Attend the Horizon Europe-Cluster 6 Info Days on 13-14 December 2022 to get informed!
The Info Days will present the Research and Innovation topics of the Horizon Europe Cluster 6 (Food, Bioeconomy, Natural Resources, Agriculture and Environment) Work Programme 2023.
The COOPID Interactive Platform aims to promote the circular bioeconomy. It focuses on interactive resources to boost the bioeconomy across the EU agri-food sector. It benefits EU primary sector producers and stakeholders interested in learning about, participating in and benefiting from the bioeconomy.
Users can find:
primary sector organisations active in the bioeconomy and primary producers (COOPID ambassadors) working to implement the bioeconomy in their agri-food sector businesses
organisations from the EU primary sector setting out examples of circular agri-food business models, with videos, brochures and descriptions of their production systems and business activities in several languages
The high-level conference on ‘The bioeconomy - Enabling the European Green Deal in challenging times’ will take place on 6 and 7 October in Brussels. All sessions will also be live-streamed.
The conference will present the findings of the EU Bioeconomy Strategy Progress Report, adopted in June 2022, together with a series of bioeconomy success stories from EU research and innovation.
The students' call for Circular Economy Innovative Projects (Navarra Circular Economy Awards 2022) is open until 25 September 2022. It is geared to the textile and plastics sectors as well as food industries. The call seeks to identify vocational education and training final projects, final degree projects, Master's final projects, PhD theses or similar developed by students.
The ITENE Research Centre is a Knowledge Transfer Office, set up in 1994.
ITENE provides companies with cutting-edge knowledge and technology to build a safer, more sustainable future. It aims to generate scientific and technological knowledge that it transfers to companies through R&D and innovation projects and consultancy, testing and training services.
It delivers solutions in four main areas:
sustainable materials and technologies for the circular economy;
design, safety and functionality in packaging;
chemical exposure and air quality monitoring;
logistics and smart mobility.
Current projects include FLEXIZYME: Flexible and adaptable enzyme biotechnology platform for the sustainable industrial production of bio-based fatty amines from waste.
The purpose of the 5th International Conference on Bio-Based Building Materials in June 2023 is to present the latest available scientific and technical information in the field of bio-based building materials, natural fibres, earthen ramped, innovative hybrid composites, natural fibres, sustainable binders for sustainability and energy efficiency of buildings.
Coffeefrom is an innovative project from Italy. It recovers coffee grounds from the food industry and blends them with biopolymers to form a new bio-based material that is a durable and resistant alternative to single-use plastic.
Bioforcetech aims to reduce energy and labour costs while reducing emissions and generating by-products (fertilisers) with added value. The company's vision is simple: instead of transporting "waste", machines are designed to transform organic streams into renewable energy and biochar right at the wastewater plant.
