D5.1 Ready to use education materials in bioeconomy, needs and gaps

This deliverable provides a comprehensive assessment on educational needs and gaps in bioeconomy across Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). The report includes a survey-based needs assessment and a mapping of existing educational programs and materials, revealing gaps between current programs and sector needs especially in emerging areas like engineering, business, and waste management, and insufficient lifelong learning and vocational training. While some good practices exist, disparities remain. These findings provide a basis for country-level analysis and policy recommendations to strengthen bioeconomy education and workforce development.
