The three projects addressed one shared question: how can the knowledge and results generated by European projects remain useful, accessible and connected beyond the project lifetime?
Bio4HUMAN explained why replication is never simply a matter of copying a solution, and presented the practical tools it has developed to make replication realistic: a readiness checklist, replication scenarios and supporting templates.
thERBN presented the ERBN platform, which keeps project results accessible over the long term and connects stakeholders across Europe, and shared lessons from building a European thematic network.
GEO gave a first look at the BIO-INSPIRE Knowledge Exchange Platform (KEP), which opens later this autumn. GEO is developing the platform and will host it. It is designed as a one stop shop for bioeconomy knowledge, training, events, funding opportunities and partner search, with particular attention to industry and to newcomers to the bioeconomy. It will remain free of charge for three years beyond the end of the project.
The presentations were followed by a discussion between the three projects, moderated by GEO.
