Enhancing EU R&I

From the organisers: Despite ongoing efforts to address gender equal participation in research and innovation (R&I), women still account for only 33% of EU researchers. And this isn't just about fairness and equal opportunities - it's about unlocking Europe's full innovative potential. With such gender underrepresentation in shaping scientific breakthroughs, we miss crucial perspectives that could solve tomorrow's challenges more effectively. The stakes are high. As global competition in science and technology intensifies, the EU cannot afford to waste talent or limit the diversity of minds tackling complex problems. Gender equality in R&I is a strategic imperative for maintaining Europe's competitive edge and ensuring research serves everyone, not just some.

The presentations and discussions will provide a comprehensive understanding of the current challenges and opportunities in promoting gender equality in R&I, and to identify effective strategies and solutions for addressing these challenges. This workshop will contribute to a more inclusive and equitable R&I ecosystem in Europe, where gender equality is valued and promoted, and contributes to lead in science and innovation.

The programme, registration form and web stream will be made available in the announcement on the website of the European Parliament.

GLAUKOS - Circular Solution for the Textile Industry

Bio Base Europe Pilot Plant coordinated the Glaukos project, which answered the call topic published in 2019 of Horizon 2020 Framework Programme ‘Develop bio-based fibres and/or functional molecules to improve the performance of textile products’ under the Framework of the Bio-based Industries Joint Undertaking (BBI JU). The consortium partners took up this challenge by valorising industrial side streams and setting up a circular approach to the textile industry.
