5 steps to innovative circular bioeconomy governance structures and models in the ROBIN Regions
STEP 1 – Set the scene on regional bioeconomy governance models
ROBIN explores the existing governance models in Europe, develops a typology of these models and identifies good governance practices. It deepens the knowledge around the barriers, challenges and opportunities for the uptake of circular bioeconomy governance models through consultation with and active engagement of regional quadruple helix stakeholder representatives included in the Multi-Actor Regional Constellations (MARCs) of the project.
STEP 2 – Co-create regional governance models and structures
Through a bottom-up approach, ROBIN engages the MARCs to co create governance models that overcome barriers and seize opportunities for circular bioeconomy. Moreover, it develops a practical Toolbox that contains actionable knowledge, a portfolio of coordination and support actions and user-friendly tools.
STEP 3 – Set up and Validate the ROBIN Toolbox
ROBIN deploys the ROBIN Toolbox within diverse territorial contexts across 5 European regions aiming at supporting the development and operation of governance models towards circular bioeconomy transition. The diversity of pilot regions in terms of socioeconomic, institutional and ecological features enable the replication of results.
STEP 4 – Monitor & Evaluate results – Share of best practices
ROBIN exchanges best practices among regions, to promote the development of cross-regional partnerships on regional bioeconomy, transfer knowledge and experience, build partnerships and enhance openness, transparency and engagement. Also, it develops an integrated replication guideline with the generated knowledge and tools which are validated through a robust monitoring and evaluation framework.
STEP 5 – Communicate & Deploy synergies
ROBIN supports the dissemination and communication of its results through a tailored strategy involving the set-up of ROBIN Advisory Board, while also creating synergies with key European and national networks, as well as the Circular Cities and Regions Initiative – Coordination and Support Office (CCRI-CSO).
