Advancing Bioeconomy
Governance

Group 9524

The Horizon Europe funded ROBIN project aims to empower Europe’s regions to adapt their governance models and structures in ways that accelerate the achievement of their circular bioeconomy targets while promoting social innovation and accounting for different regional contexts.The Southern Regional Assembly and Munster Technological University’s Circular Bioeconomy Research Group (CircBio) have joined forces as the Irish partners for the Southern Region on ROBIN 
Running from September 2022 until September 2025, ROBIN will allow us to learn from and share knowledge with other European regions and partners, including Greece, Spain, Germany and Slovakia, about their bioeconomy regional structures and strategies.

What is the Bioeconomy? 

The bioeconomy is the part of the economy which uses renewable resources from agriculture, forestry and the marine to produce food, feed, materials and energy, while reducing waste, in support of achieving a sustainable and climate neutral society.

ROBIN will support 5 regions across Europe to: 

  • 01 – Adapt their governance models to support the scaling up of bio-based value chains of their ecosystem.
  • 02 – Exploit existing knowledge from earlier work and knowhow in bioeconomy policy and social innovation.
  • 03 – Network and source knowledge from peers and consort with the European Commission’s Circular Cities and Regions Initiative’s Coordination and Support Office (CCRI-CSO)

How will ROBIN achieve this? 

5 steps to innovative circular bioeconomy governance structures and models in the ROBIN regions: 

Step – 01

Set the scene on regional Bioeconomy governance models

Step – 02

Co-create regional governance models and structures

Step – 03

Set up and validate the ROBIN toolbox

Step – 04

Monitor and evaluate results – share best practices 

Step – 05
