BIOEASTWIDE

BIOEASTWIDE aims to strengthen and align bioeconomy research and innovation agendas across the BIOEAST macro-region, including Ukraine, Moldova and the Western Balkans.

The project supports sustainable natural resource management, resilient food systems and circular bio-based value chains through stronger regional cooperation and policy coordination.

BIOEASTWIDE will establish a structured network connecting ministries, funding agencies, research organisations, industries and civil society actors to strengthen the European Research Area and support a fair bioeconomy transition.

BIOEASTWIDE builds on the BIOEAST Initiative and aims to create a long-term pan-European cooperation framework for bioeconomy research and innovation.

The project will reinforce HUBs and thematic working groups, improve coordination between funding agencies and ministries, support widening countries integration into the European Research Area and strengthen evidence-based policymaking.

Objectives

• Map bioeconomy research and innovation ecosystems across the BIOEAST macro-region
• Develop a shared strategic roadmap and scope for a future BIOEASTWIDE partnership
• Deliver tailored capacity-building for ministries, funding agencies, research organisations and industry
• Strengthen policy coherence and funding coordination across countries
• Increase the participation of CEE and widening countries in EU research and innovation programmes
