The European Bioeconomy University – driven by demand, accomplished by intellectual leadership
The transition to the Bioeconomy is one of the major economic, social and environmental challenges facing the European Union in the coming years. The European Bioeconomy University will tackle this enormous challenge by educating a new generation of truly European experts, fostering rigorous, relevant and responsible research, and transferring knowledge into society and the economy.
