 20./21.11.2025

ICA Community of Practice for Bioeconomy Education in Europe (ICA-CoP Bio-Edu) will host a Workshop to address Learning Communities for the transformation to the bioeconomy: innovation by dialogue between partners.  

The Workshop will  be held on Thursday 20 and Friday 21 November 2025, at the Irish College Leuven, Janseniusstraat 1, Leuven, 3000 Belgium see details here https://www.ica-europe.info/events/ica-cop-bio-edu-2025-workshop and register.

A learning community brings together such functional bodies as between knowledge institutions (universities, research institutes and advisory services), industry, policy makers and civil society under the umbrella heading of "learning community" for a specific needed action to lead to successful transformations for the bioeconomy.  A specific learning community may include all the functional groups or a subset.  Such learning communities can operate at a local level, regional level within a country or at a national level.  The key objective of the Workshop is to explore concepts of how to initiate and build successful learning communities. In the previous two webinars we will have reviewed a variety of learning communities at different levels of organisation (Webinar No1 and Webinar No2).  The Workshop also builds from the submission made to the Commission’s 2025 Call for evidence "Towards a circular, regenerative and competitive bioeconomy"   In particular the workshop will explore the benefits for universities of being involved in such learning communities for their research, innovation, and education programmes as a result of their direct engagement with industry, policy makers and civil society.
