The European project ROBIN, in which CTA collaborates alongside the Andalusian Ministry of Agriculture and IFAPA, was recognized today at the BioCircular Summit in Madrid with the State Biocircularity Award in the Public-Private Cooperation category.
The Spanish representatives of the ROBIN project include the regional Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, Water, and Rural Development of the Andalusian Government, the Institute for Agricultural and Fisheries Research and Training (IFAPA), and CTA (Technological Corporation of Andalusia). The award was received by Mar Cátedra, technical advisor of the Andalusian Ministry of Agriculture, and Paula de la Rosa, consultant at CTA.
Leaders of the transition towards biocircularity
The First State Biocircularity Awards are a pioneering initiative in Spain, recognizing the leading figures driving the transition toward sustainable biocircular business models, which are key to the ecological transition. Among the seven award categories, the ROBIN project has been honored with the Public-Private Cooperation Award, which acknowledges cross-sector collaboration that has led to positive impacts, fostering biocircular policies and practices.
The BioCircular Summit, organized by BIOCIRC, BIOPLAT, and the State Biocircular Hub, is the first forum in Spain to comprehensively address the various biocircularity subsectors, including bioenergy, biofuels and eFuels, renewable gases, bioproducts, and biorefineries. The event aims to establish itself as a key annual platform for strengthening the biocircular value chain and as a must-attend reference point for those seeking to advance the ecological transition through biocircular solutions.
ROBIN, a project to accelerate the green transition.
The European project ROBIN, funded by the Horizon Europe program, aims to promote innovative governance models in Circular Bioeconomy to support regional administrations in accelerating the green transition.
Led by the Greek partner Q-PLAN, the full title of the ROBIN project is “Deploying Circular BIOeconomies at the Regional Level with a Territorial Approach.” Its goal is to assist European regional authorities in leveraging social innovation techniques and shaping their governance structures to drive the Circular Bioeconomy forward.
