On November 3-4, 2026, meetings were held in Brussels and Paris among representatives of the universities comprising the European Bioeconomy University – an alliance of eight leading European universities specializing in natural sciences, agricultural sciences, and the bioeconomy, of which the Warsaw University of Life Sciences is a member. The events focused on the role of universities in implementing the European bioeconomy strategy and on defining priorities for cooperation over the next two years.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The Role of Universities in Implementing the EU Bioeconomy Strategy<\/strong><\/h6>

On 3 November, an event titled \u201cUniversities Contributing to the EU Bioeconomy Strategy: Skills and Knowledge Valorization\u201d took place in Brussels, dedicated to the role of higher education in developing a competitive, innovative, and sustainable European bioeconomy.<\/p>

The meeting was attended by Prof. Micha\u0142 Zasada, rector of the Warsaw University of Life Sciences (SGGW), representatives of other EBU member universities, and delegates from the European Commission, the industrial sector, and organizations involved in the development of the bioeconomy.<\/p>

Discussions focused primarily on training specialists to meet the needs of a changing economy; enhancing and updating professional competencies (upskilling and reskilling); knowledge and technology transfer; and strengthening cooperation among universities, industry, and public administration.<\/p>

An important part of the meeting was a debate on the implementation of the European Union\u2019s new bioeconomy strategy, announced in November 2025, and on the role of research and innovation in the future EU Framework Program (FP10).<\/p>

The event was attended by representatives of the European Commission: Mirabela Maria Lupaescu from the Directorate-General for the Environment (DG ENV) and Peter Wehrheim from the Directorate-General for Research and Innovation (DG RTD). Nicol\u00f3 Giacomuzzi-Moore, Executive Director of the Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Undertaking (CBE JU), presented the perspective on collaboration between science and industry.<\/p>

The meeting concluded with a panel discussion on the future of applying research findings and academic knowledge to the development of the European bioeconomy, featuring representatives from academia, industry, and the next generation of experts.<\/p>


New Presidency and EBU Strategic Priorities for 2026-2028<\/strong><\/h6>

A meeting of the European Bioeconomy University\u2019s governing body is scheduled for 4 November in Paris, in connection with the handover of the alliance\u2019s presidency to the French university AgroParisTech<\/strong>, which will lead its work until November 2028. It takes over this role from the University of Eastern Finland (UEF).<\/p>

The new presidency\u2019s agenda aims to strengthen the EBU\u2019s position as a key partner for European institutions in shaping bioeconomy policy and to foster scientific, educational, and innovative collaboration among member universities.<\/p>

Among the proposed priorities for 2026\u20132028 are:<\/p>

  • Increasing the EBU\u2019s influence on European policies<\/strong>, particularly on the shape of the future FP10 framework program, the EU\u2019s Multiannual Financial Framework for 2028-2034, and instruments supporting the bioeconomy.<\/li>
  • Developing innovation and entrepreneurship<\/strong> by connecting the innovation ecosystems of member universities, supporting startups, and facilitating technology transfer to the economy.<\/li>
  • Intensifying joint research and educational projects<\/strong>, including the preparation of at least 10 project proposals in 2027\u20132028, of which at least 3 will be coordinated by EBU universities.<\/li>
  • Developing strategic international cooperation<\/strong>, including with partners outside Europe and other university networks.<\/li>
  • Strengthening the EBU\u2019s visibility<\/strong> as a European center of knowledge and expertise in the bioeconomy.<\/li><\/ul>

    One of the most important initiatives of the new presidency will be organizing the next edition of the European Bioeconomy Scientific Forum<\/em> (EBSF), scheduled for October 2027 on the AgroParisTech campus in Palaiseau, near Paris.<\/p><\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
