Join the BIOEAST SRIA Validation Workshops!

The BIOEAST SRIA Validation Workshops provide an opportunity for researchers, policymakers, industry representatives, and citizens to contribute to the validation of the updated thematic Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA). Through interactive discussions, participants will review the proposed research and innovation priorities, share regional perspectives, and help shape the future direction of bioeconomy research and innovation across the BIOEAST macro-region.

The updated SRIA is organised around the core BIOEAST thematic areas, covering Agroecology, Forestry, Food Systems, Bioenergy, Biobased Materials, Freshwater, and Education. Together, these themes provide a strategic framework for addressing regional challenges and opportunities in the bioeconomy.

To ensure that regional needs and priorities are properly reflected, three online workshops will be organised for different parts of the BIOEAST macro-region:

• 8 September 2026, 09:00–12:00 (CET) – Visegrad countries: Poland, Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary – Registration
• 9 September 2026, 09:00–12:00 (CET) – Southeastern Europe: Slovenia, Croatia, Romania, Bulgaria – Registration
• 11 September 2026, 13:00–16:00 (CET) – Baltic countries: Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia – Registration

Registration is now open. We encourage you to register for the workshop in your region and help shape the future of bioeconomy research and innovation in the BIOEAST macro-region!
