Background
Following the success of the first Bioeconomy Workshop organized by the Bioeconomy Economics Research Group at the University of Passau, Germany, we are pleased to invite you to the 2nd Bioeconomy Workshop: Towards an Inclusive Bioeconomy, to be held in Prague.
This edition is hosted by the Team for Forest Bioeconomy at the Faculty of Forestry and Wood Sciences, Czech University of Life Sciences Prague (CZU), in collaboration with the IACGB Bioeconomy Youth Champions. The aim is to broaden participation and enrich the dialogue surrounding the bioeconomy.
While the first workshop focused on the social sciences and the economic governance of the global bioeconomy, this second edition aims to foster a more inclusive space for dialogue and collaboration among key stakeholders from multiple sectors.
The event will bring together participants from academia, industry, policymaking, and civil society to discuss achievements, share experiences, and explore opportunities for advancing the transition towards a sustainable and inclusive bioeconomy.
The main objective is to strengthen networks, support joint initiatives, and promote knowledge exchange to address the challenges and opportunities of building a more equitable and resilient bioeconomy.
Target Audience
This workshop welcomes participants from the following sectors:
- Academia and research institutions
- Industry and business leaders in the bioeconomy
