Educational events will be organised in each innovation region on the broad theme of ‘Sustainability and the Bioeconomy’, focused on school/college/university pupils/students and/or teachers. The specific focus of these events will be tailored to the interests and needs of each region, both in terms of sub-themes, and in terms of target group e.g. which age group and educational level, and whether students/pupils and/or teachers.
In order to achieve this, materials relevant to specific regions and in national language will be produced. Local experts will hold the training events.
