To celebrate the end of the COOPID project and showcase its results, COOPID is organising a final week of activities to foster debate about the engagement of the primary sector in the bioeconomy: the COOPID Bioeconomy Week, an official #EUGreenWeek Partner Event. The week’s highlight will be the COOPID Bioeconomy Conference in Brussels, where partners and relevant actors will provide recommendations to policymakers, academia and primary sector stakeholders.

The COOPID Bioeconomy Week will run from May 29 to June 4 (Monday to Sunday). Each day of the week will have a different digital activity focused on hot topics in the agri-food sector & the bioeconomy. The COOPID Bioeconomy Conference on May 31 will be the week’s highlight: an in-person dynamic event at the heart of Brussels.

COOPID has successfully concluded the highly anticipated COOPID Bioeconomy Conference. As an official #EUGreenWeek 2023 Partner Event, the conference brought together industry experts, policymakers, primary producers, and stakeholders on the 31st of May at Les Ateliers des Tanneurs, in Brussels, Belgium.

The COOPID Bioeconomy Conference showcased insightful sessions and engaging discussions, fostering a deeper understanding of the challenges and opportunities in the bioeconomy – drawing more than 130 registrations.

The EU Green Week is an annual event organised by the European Commission. It is planned as an opportunity to debate, become familiar with, or even celebrate EU environment policy. This year, EU Partner Events will focus on topics of skills for sustainable, resilient and socially fair communities. Partner events strive to raise awareness and contribute to the public debate around this very actual topic.
