The European project UrBIOfuture aims to promote European education in the bioeconomy through the creation of university degrees, new training programs and research activities in a growing sector.
UrBIOfuture has a budget of close to 1 million euros, with a one-year execution period, and is co-funded by the Bio-Based Industries Joint Undertaking (BBI JU) under the European program for innovation and research Horizon 2020 (H2020).
Overall, the project will contribute to meeting the training needs of the bio-based industry, as well as promoting the areas of work in this field. The project will also ensure that training opportunities are provided to professionals in the sector.
The Autonomous University of Barcelona, Corporación Tecnológica de Andalucía (CTA) and the SME Sustainable Innovations Europe (SIE) are the Spanish partners of this project, which brings together a total of 9 European partners.
