BIOEAST Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA). 2022

The BIOEAST Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA) aims to highlight the common needs and priorities of the CEE macro-region. The specific objective of this work is to emphasise the necessity of tackling the bioeconomy within its complexity and to link and, where possible, start new cross-sectoral value chains. The BIOEAST SRIA was developed around pre-agreed core thematic areas, including agroecology and sustainable yields, food systems, the forestry value chain, a fresh water-based bioeconomy, bioenergy and value-added materials, advanced biochemicals and biomaterials, and bioeconomy education and skills. The SRIA outlines the main challenges, research areas and expected outcomes in each of these core thematic areas.
