The Andalusian partners of the ROBIN project organized a panel on March 12th as part of the official agenda of the Transfiere Forum, focusing on “The Deployment of Circular Bioeconomy at the Regional Scale with a Territorial Approach”, with a special emphasis on lessons learned from the ROBIN project itself.
The panel, held in the Science Room at Transfiere and moderated by María García, Innovation Consultant at CTA, attracted dozens of attendees. It featured the participation of:
- Mar Cátedra, Technical Advisor at the General Secretariat for Agriculture, Livestock, and Food of the Regional Ministry of Agriculture of the Andalusian Government
- Jesús Díez, Program Director at the Natural Heritage Foundation of Castilla y León
- Víctor Falguera, General Coordinator of the Bioeconomy Hub of Catalonia
- José Luis Cruz, from the Madrid Institute for Rural, Agricultural, and Food Research and Development (IMIDRA), and
- José García, Bioeconomy Research Coordinator at IMIDA (Murcian Institute for Agricultural and Environmental Research and Development).
Representatives from the different regions analysed the state of governance models in their respective territories and shared best practices that could serve as a reference for other regions. Additionally, they outlined potential short-term action plans in circular bioeconomy to foster interregional collaboration and coordination, aiming to accelerate territorial progress in this field.
