This funding call aims to enhance the participation of stakeholders from underrepresented countries and regions in the European bio-based economy landscape. It aligns with objectives such as increasing innovation capacity, fostering stakeholder engagement, and promoting synergies across bio-based research and industrial ecosystems. The call supports capacity building, collaboration, and awareness-raising initiatives to implement the CBE JU widening strategy. Proposals are expected to include measures for knowledge transfer, local language engagement, and collaboration between bio-based clusters and funding programs. Projects should demonstrate synergies with relevant EU-funded initiatives, ensure inclusivity, and provide recommendations to remove bottlenecks in participation. Financial support to third parties for teaming activities is also allowed under specified limits.
