With a keen focus on Research, Open Science, Knowledge Valorization, and Inclusive Innovation Culture, BEAMING aspires to be a catalyst for positive change in the bioeconomy landscape.

BEAMING’s approach involves a strategic collaboration between higher education institutions, industry players, government bodies, and civil society. By bringing together diverse stakeholders, the project seeks to create a dynamic ecosystem that drives progress in bioeconomy research and development.

As the BEAMING Project sets its sights on the future, it holds the promise of not only advancing scientific knowledge and technological innovation but also fostering a more inclusive and collaborative culture within the bioeconomy community. With the kick-off meeting successfully paving the way for the project’s implementation, the next four years are poised to witness transformative advancements that will shape the bioeconomy sector for years to come.
