Effective stakeholder and public engagement in the bioeconomy: Good practices, lessons learned and recommendations for future research.
Over the last three years, BioSTEP has designed and implemented a wide range of participatory tools to engage citizens and stakeholder groups in discussions about the future development of Europe’s bioeconomy. These tools covered different modes of participation, ranging from education and information activities to intensive stakeholder dialogues and the co-creation of regional bioeconomy roadmaps.
The objectives of this conference are:
To present and discuss practical lessons learned from the application of BioSTEP’s participatory tools.
To discuss how the lessons learned from BioSTEP can inform ongoing and future activities of the EU Bioeconomy Stakeholders Panel and the update of the EU Bioeconomy Strategy and its Action Plan.
To present and discuss recommendations for future research that emerged from the application of BioSTEP’s participatory tools.
The conference will take place on Thursday 22 February 2018 (13.00 – 18.00) in the European Commission, CDMA SDR 1 and 2, Rue du Champ de Mars 21, B-1050 Brussels.
