SUSTAINABLE INNOVATIONS LEADS E-LEARNING, DISSEMINATION AND COMMUNICATION STRATEGY IN THE BIOBEC PROJECT
The EU-funded BIObec project, aimed at improving education for the bio-based industry, has officially concluded after 30 months of work. Launched in September 2021 under the Horizon 2020 research and innovation program, BIObec brought together 19 partners from 12 countries to create stronger links between education and the growing bioeconomy sector.
Sustainable Innovations led to the project’s communication and dissemination of the project, to elaborate e-learning and training materials, and to analyse the economic feasibility of the BBECs, including a detailed screening of potential funding sources and models.
At its core, BIObec introduced Bio-Based Education Centres (BBECs) to connect universities, innovation hubs, and businesses. These centres are meant to help align academic training with industry needs, reducing the skills gap and supporting regional development.
With its final results published, BIObec leaves a framework to help other regions set up their own education-industry hubs, building on the experience of earlier projects and encouraging further cooperation across sectors.
