Water pollution
The common challenges
I.E., in France, agriculture accounts for 18% of water pollution and generates also €1billion of extra-costs in bottled water for the population (Source: French Ministry of Economics)

INVESTMENTS IN RESEARCH, INNOVATION AND SKILLS
Ensure substantial EU and national funding for bioeconomy and innovation
Increase the share of multi-disciplinary and cross-sectoral research and innovation
Promote the uptake and diffusion of innovation in bioeconomy sectors; create feedback
mechanisms on regulation and policy
Build the human capacity required to support growth and integration of bioeconomy
sectors

International
Organisations
Member States REINFORCED POLICY INTERACTION AND STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT Create a Bioeconomy Panel to enhancing synergies and coherence between policies;
foster participation of researchers, end-users, policy- makers and civil society
Establish a Bioeconomy Observatory and develop forward-looking and modelling tools
Support the development of regional and national bioeconomy strategies
Develop international cooperation to jointly address global challenges (e.g. food security,
climate change)
ENHANCEMENT OF MARKETS AND COMPETITIVENESS IN BIOECONOMY
SECTORS Provide the knowledge-base for sustainable intensification of primary production; improve
understanding of biomass/biowaste availability and demand;
Promote the setting up of networks for integrated and diversified biorefineries; establish a
PPP for bio-based industries
Support expansion of new markets; facilitate green procurement for bio-based products
Develop science-based approaches to inform consumers about product properties
Policy Research and Innovation
IProgress made in EU policy commitment
developing the Bioeconomy in Europe and directions to take
Bioeconomy becomes reality throughout Europe at EU, national, regional, local levels; also at international level
S&T results mobilsed 3,8 Billion via KBBE FP7 Theme bringing feasibility of the sustainable bioeconomy to the market;
Support by Committee of (European) Regions calling for long term investment strategies in innovation and competitiveness ;
Involvement by European Parliament in response to Commission Communication on bioeconomy;
Policy Research and Innovation
I
Progress made in Bioeconomy Action Plan implemention: examples regarding
investments in research, innovation & skills - Ensure substantial EU and national funding as well as private investment and partnering for
bioeconomy research and innovation
4,5 billion € proposed by EC for "Bioeconomy" Challenge in Horizon 2020 (140% increase compared to 1.9 billion € for FP7 theme Food, Agriculture, Biotechnologies)
FP7 technological research for bio-based industries funded by WPs "Food, Agriculture and Biotechnology", "Energy", "Environment" and "Industrial Processes" (e.g. 57 million Joint Call on Biorefineries launched in 2009)
Complementary support by cohesion instruments, such as announced Regiostars Awards with special prize category on bioeconomy in 2014 and future European Marine and Fisheries Fund 2014-2020
Policy Research and Innovation
I
Progress made in Bioeconomy Action Plan implemention: examples regarding investments in
research, innovation & skills - Build the human capacity required to support the growth and further integration of
bioeconomy sectors
Involvement of key stakeholders
- regions, academia, private sectors and financial investors - series of events organised in 2012
- to address specific key issues e.g.“partnering with regions”, “education and skills” for the bioeconomy
New Skills for a European Bioeconomy Conference, 20-21 November 2013, Brussels
Policy Research and Innovation
Progress made in Action Plan implementation: Reinforced policy interaction stakeholder engagement
Create a Bioeconomy Panel for enhancing synergies & coherence
between policies, initiatives and economic sectors related to the bioeconomy, Organise regular Bioeconomy Stakeholder Conferences.
Bioeconomy panel: under construction
Regular Stakeholders Conferences: 2012 in Copenhagen, 2013 in Dublin; 2014 in Rome
Observatory: launched in February 2013, implemented by EC-JRC. Deliverables: Methodology framework, first data set, first version of website aim to make data publicly accessible no later than 12 February 2014.

International cooperation EU-LAC Facts and figures
• Principle of general openness: LAC made good use
• KBBE Work Programmes had strong focus targeting LAC with 24 SICAS and topics with mandatory participation by LAC and 15 topics calling for international participation incl. LAC
• 81 LAC participations in 48 signed contracts up to end 2012
• Cooperation approach both, bi-regional and bilateral
• Move to Programme level cooperation in 2 cases: Global Initiative in Animal Health and Partnering Initiative on agricultural biodiversity (under evaluation)

Three priorities:
Policy Research and Innovation
Priority 3. Societal challenges
• Why: • Concerns of citizens and society/EU policy
objectives (climate, environment, energy, transport etc) cannot be achieved without innovation
• Breakthrough solutions come from multi-disciplinary collaborations, including social sciences & humanities
• Promising solutions need to be tested, demonstrated and scaled up

International cooperation
• International cooperation is crucial to address many Horizon 2020 objectives.
• Principle of general openness: the programme will remain to be the most open funding programme in the world.
• Horizon 2020 shall be open to the association of: acceding countries, candidate countries and potential candidates and selected third countries that fulfil the relevant criteria (capacity, track record, close economic and geographical links to the Union, etc.).
• Targeted actions to be implemented taking a strategic approach to international cooperation (dedicated measures in the 'Inclusive, innovative and secure societies' challenge).

International cooperation EU-CELAC in Horizon2020
• International cooperation is crucial to address Challenge 2 objectives
• Principle of general openness: the programme will remain to be the most open funding programme in the world.
• Cooperation with EU-CELAC driven by bi-regional dialogues and SOM working group on bioeconomy and Food Security
• Targeted actions to be implemented taking a strategic approach to international cooperation addressing common challenges

Future International cooperation EU-CELAC at bi-regional level
Opportunities building EU-LAC Bioeconomy developed by SOM Working Group under "Joint Initiative for Research and Innovation "on Bioeconomy and Food Security (led by Argentina and France)
EU-CELAC Funding Agencies underline importance of EU-CELAC Action Plan calling for combination of instruments at local, national, bilateral and bi-regional level
Opportunities and support to building the bioeconomy provided by EU funded networks EURALINET, ENLACE, ALCUE-Net
Opportunities of EU-LAC Bioeconomy cooperation to be elaborated by ALCUE –KBBE project
Joint Initiative for Research and Innovation between countries in the EU, Latin America and the Caribbean.
SOM working group 1. Bioeconomy including Food Security
• Possible initiative identified:
• Link European Bioeconomy Observatory with LAC-based
Observatory (currently being set up)
• Possible focus on socio-economics, policy, regulatory
frameworks key to Food security issues
• Consider foresight for LAC, building on existing
initiatives at the CGIAR level
