  3. Challenges for a future Bioeconomy • Increase sustainable plant production on limited land resources • Resource- and energy-efficient processing to valorize as much and as diverse as possible • Diversify products and integrate processes • Market orientation • Competitiveness in global science and markets • Acceptance of society and customers

  4. Challenges for a future Bioeconomy Optimising the science base • Increase sustainable plant production on limited land resources • Accelerateknowledgegenerationandimplementationthroughnovelbreedingand plant managementtechnologies • Bio- andagrosciencesneedtobecome quantitative • Integration of all possibletechnologyoptionstoincreasethroughputandquantitatification (robotics, IT, mathematics, nanotechnology, etc.) • Systemicapproachesovercomingbordersofdisciplines • Globalising bioeconomy sciencecommunity (workforceandutilisingnaturalresourcesglobally) • Resource- and energy-efficient processing to valorize as much and as diverse as possible • Diversify products and integrate processes • Market orientation • Competitiveness in global science and markets • Acceptance of society and customers

  5. Challenges for a future Bioeconomy • Increase sustainable plant production on limited land resources Optimising the science base • Resource- and energy-efficient processing to valorize as much and as diverse as possible Integrating with economy • Systemic approaches linking novel knowledge into integrated processes for products (science-to.business) • Diversify products and integrate processes • Market orientation • Improving knowledge about markets and economy (business-to-science) • Competitiveness in global science and markets • Realising and impementing international cooperation • Acceptance of society and customers

  6. Challenges for a future Bioeconomy • Increase sustainable plant production on limited land resources Optimising the science base • Resource- and energy-efficient processing to valorize as much and as diverse as possible Integrating with economy • Diversify products and integrate processes Integrating with society • Communication with society about risks and benefits for acceptance and science-based decision making • Market orientation • Competitiveness in global science and markets • Developing a perspective of the role of science and bioeconomy on a global scale • Acceptance of society and customers • Life-long learning (from schools to senior scientists)

  7. Challenges for a future Bioeconomy • Increase sustainable plant production on limited land resources Needs • Resource- and energy-efficient processing to valorize as much and as diverse as possible Optimising the science base • Diversify products and integrate processes Integrating with economy • Market orientation • Competitiveness in global science and markets Integrating with society • Acceptance of society and customers Different roles for all relevant stakeholders

  8. Multidisciplinary and cross-sectorial education - Many sciences are needed FuelsandEnergy Chemicals andPharmaceuticals Food andNutrition Plant Biomassand Performance Soil Nurients Water Biotechnology Chemistry Systems Biology Informatics/ Robotics/ Engineering Processing - Engineering Plant SciencesandGenetics Geosciences Ecology AgroSciences Economy, SocialSciences, Political Sciences, Communication and Media

  9. Skills and Instruments • Skills • Sound basis science and discipline • Soft skills in management, networking, multidisciplinary team skills, media, etc. • Team skills – beyond the individual excellence • Integrated Education Networks • Graduate education: coordination of bioeconomy specific education based on existing disciplinary approaches • Regional education clusters linked to international networks • Senior scientists in academia and industry: Specific add-on education for bioeconomy professionals • Utilising demonstration projects for teaching specific skills • Integrating academic education with practical industry experience • Adapting incentive systems in sciences for translational research and carrier flexibility

  10. Skills and Instruments • Building adequate skills starts at schools • Overcoming the „bio- illiteracy“ of today to form an educated public and enthusiastic students • Technical training: • Training on novel technologies to farmers, horticulturalists, engineers, etc.: add-on training for special skills (e.g. molecular gardening, biomass web economics, etc.) • Academic Training • See „Multidisciplinary and cross-sectorial education“ • Life-long learning and training • Education of senior professionals across discipines, sectors from academia and industry

  11. Skills and Instruments • Industrialised, emerging and developing countries share the vision of Bioeconomy • Implementation of Bioeconomy requires regional context and its link to international and global interaction of bioeconomy • International bioeconomy education and training • in other countries – global workforce • global perspectives including trade, globalisation, etc. • diversity of regional implementation
