The official press release on the position paper can be found here.

The aim of the Bioeconomy Science Hub is to connect scientists and areas of bioeconomy at the University of Hohenheim with each other and with other national and international partners, such as the European Bioeconomy University (EBU). The interdisciplinary exchange is intended to support initiatives in research and teaching. Strong partnerships increase the chances of success when applying for multi- or interdisciplinary project consortia.


Through the continuous development of networking-supporting building blocks, a format tailored to Hohenheim will be established, which will also allow the Hohenheim Bioeconomy Science Hub to supplement and open up suitable cooperation formats for external stakeholders and networking partners.


In addition, those interested in the bioeconomy can find a wealth of information and learning materials on the topic of the bioeconomy in the Education Center, which can be used for various internal and external target groups.
