Green Biorefineries as Catalysts for Agroecological Transitions and Circular Value Chains

Purpose and goal

The planning project aims to develop a high-quality full proposal for an international research project focused on integrating Green Biorefineries (GBRs) into agroecological value chains across the EU. The overarching goal is to create a platform that positions GBRs as catalysts for agroecological transitions, supporting circular bioeconomy, rural revitalization, and climate resilience. The project will ensure that the proposal meets scientific and administrative standards required by the call.

Expected effects and result

The planning project is expected to result in: - A scientifically robust and administratively aligned full proposal ready for submission. Refined Excellence and Impact sections, aligned with the call’s criteria. - Detailed implementation strategy with structured work packages, resource planning, and risk management. - Clear protocols for stakeholder engagement, data management, and open science. - Enhanced project impact through early integration of gender and sustainability considerations.

Planned approach and implementation

The planning project is structured around eight work packages: Coordination & Management Implementation Planning: Develops project structure and work packages. Data Management: Establishes FAIR-compliant data protocols. Dissemination & Communication Stakeholder Engagement Policy & Funding Alignment: Aligns the project with EU policies, explores co-funding options. Excellence & Impact: Ensure alignment with the call, maximize relevance. Finalization: Prepares the final submission.
