Additionally, to this triggering policy debates at the local and regional level is foreseen as part of this activity. Relevant stakeholders – industry, science, policy makers and civil society – are aimed to be involved to discuss the pros and cons of bio-based products and processes and come up with recommendations on how these could be tackled by policies. Identification of existing policy gaps should take place in order to name and then address these.

The results can also feed into relevant EU policy processes, such as monitoring and evaluation of the EU Bioeconomy Strategy and also of the Circular Economy Action Plan.
