European Bioeconomy University

EBU Vision

Creating Europe’s leading intellectual institution for tackling the enormous environmental, economic and societal challenges of the 21^stcentury, by:

The diversity of the knowledge-based bioeconomy extends from farmland and food production through forests to marine ecosystems, from bio-waste through innovative products to new business models, and from urban to rural regions. The bioeconomy builds on cross-fertilisations and mutual understanding between various economic sectors, disciplines and governmental, administrative, industrial and societal stakeholders. It is an excellent example of how increased skills cooperation between sectors can link growth strategies, political commitment and involvement at regional, national and EU levels. It provides a valuable contribution to the goals of the New Skills Agenda for Europe, and to the setting of a new balance and improvement of relations between the diverse European regions. This is also in accordance with the revised Bioeconomy Strategy (2018) and Circular Economy Strategy of the European Commission. 

EBU Mission

European knowledge-based bioeconomy will be driven by necessity and accomplished by intellectual leadership. The European Bioeconomy University will work visibly and effectively to empower the European knowledge-based bioeconomy and accelerate this transition by
