ICA-CoP Bio-Edu Webinar
At the EU level it is recognised that to support the ongoing transformations to the bioeconomy it is necessary to build successful interchanges between universities, research institutes, industry, policy makers and civil society at different organisational levels, from local, to national, regional and the EU. Bringing together such functional bodies under the umbrella heading of "learning community" can facilitate such interchange and lead to successful transformations for the bioeconomy.
The key objective of the ICA Community of Practice for Bioeconomy Education (ICA-CoP Bio-Edu) webinars and workshop in 2025 is to explore concepts of how to initiate and build successful learning communities to address the real-world problems in executing successful transformations towards the development of the bioeconomy.
A learning community will have:
- Identified the need for a shared vision on trans-functional stakeholder collaborations (with co-leadership)to address a clearly defined transformational goal(s)
- stakeholder representatives from two or more of the following functional groups: government, industry, knowledge providers, civil society, and at least a strong connection to the other groups
- clear roles identified for each stakeholder in addressing the goal(s).
