Advancing Resource Management, Market and Socioeconomic aspects in the Blue Bioeconomy Value Chains
The BlueBio ERA-NET Second Additional Call Presentation and Brokerage Event is a two-part event where the BlueBio Cofund will present the second additional call and facilitate 1:1 match-making meetings between possible partners on Monday 21 June. After 22 June a permanent matchmaking session is open on the site, so meetings can be organised until 22 July.
The call is targeted on resource management and market and socioeconomic aspects of the Blue Bioeconomy
This call aims to facilitate research and innovation to underpin sustainable and circular management and use of natural resources (Resource Management, Figure 3). This will encompass an integrated food systems approach to ensure ecosystem integrity and resilience. Furthermore, acceptability, trust, transparency, and innovation uptake by citizens are key to developing the Blue Bioeconomy sector. To this end the production and consumption of safe and healthy food and bio-based products (food and nutrition security) is vital and this call will address market and socioeconomic aspects of the value chain to foster solutions to these issues (Market, Figure 3).
