project
SYMOBIO 2PLUS aims to consolidate the reseach from SYMOBIO 1.0 and 2.0 to prepare the way for possible continuous monitoring. Specifically, the project aims to develop concrete, practical and specific suggestions for how bioeconomy monitoring should be structured and managed. It should:
- Propose a comprehensive, robust, and manageable set of indicators that can be readily and regularly updated (e.g. 30 to 40 core priority indicators), and which reflect current stakeholder priorities;
- Identify specific research needs and continue to advance cutting-edge methods to develop fit-for-purpose indicators;
- Distinguish links to corresponding monitoring activities and learn from, incorporate and build on knowledge toward developing bioeconomy monitoring in different contexts;
- Explore options, needs and requirements for gathering, compiling, updating, presenting and hosting indicators and data in a way that can both (a) make bioeconomy a tangible and relevant topic for a broad audience and (b) provide the evidence basis for policy makers to help steer the bioeconomy transformation in a sustainable way.
