Green Biobased Economy in TO2

Summary of project title, description problem /   question, research objectives and results / products

In the current era research has taken a new turn,   where chain-wide approaches have become even more valuable. Expertise present   at the different TO2 institutes can be combined in novel concepts and thus   collaboration between the different TO2 institutes has become increasingly   relevant. This is also the vision of the EZ ministry who has created   stimulants to set up such collaborations. A lot of efforts have gone into the   identification of potential areas for collaborations between the more   technological areas of DLO (mostly FBR) and other TO2 institutes, but little   has been done in identifying such potential areas on the plant side, thus   PRI/PPO. This project will focus on the identification of complementary (and   common) expertise between PRI/PPO and other TO2 institutes that are relevant   to the Biobased Circular Economy area. The aim of this project is to explore the expertise   present in TO2 institutes and combine them in new concepts that address the   needs of a Biobased Economy. It will focus on creating opportunities for new   collaborative projects and intensify the interaction between the different   TO2 institutes and WUR, in particular identify areas of complementarity between   Plant Sciences group and other TO2 institutes.
