Description: Europe is building a “different world” for the future generations, promoting a more sustainable consumption, production and lifestyle, through the Green Deal policies and the initiatives supporting bioeconomy, in particular the 2018 updated Bioeconomy Strategy. Despite these efforts, the large public is often unaware of the bioeconomy related terminologies, the bio-based applications in every-day’s life and the technologies behind the innovations produced by the bio-based research and industry. The HORIZON 2020 project BIOVOICES (www.biovoices.eu) has implemented in 40 months a number of activities to respond to these challenges in order to increase awareness of the environmental, social and economic benefits of sustainable and circular bioeconomy and its sectors, in particular bio-based sectors among citizens. BIOVOICES outcomes and activities will continue in the Transition2BIO project, aiming at promoting the successful transition towards a more sustainable consumption, production and lifestyle.
