Bioeconomy perceptions
To raise awareness on the forest bioeconomy, we consider it crucial to thoroughly understand how different target groups perceive the bioeconomy and related topics. The views of these different groups are essential to help prioritise regional bioeconomy actions and communications to maximise their impacts.
To obtain insights into how different target groups perceive the bioeconomy, the Bioregions Facility designs and implements Bioeconomy Perceptions Surveys for different target groups. One survey targets government & industry, another survey is aimed at students. Future surveys can focus on consumers and the general public.
Our survey efforts also contribute to large-scale comparative analyses across participating regions that can help harness and promote important strides toward a circular bioeconomy across Europe.
If you are interested in joining this effort by launching the survey to students in your study programme or educational institution, contact the Bioregions Facility at bioregions@efi.int.
Survey targeted at Students
The Bioeconomy Perceptions Survey targeted at students is an important tool to help regions learn more about their own bioeconomy ecosystem. It aims to provide insights into how students of higher education perceive the role of entrepreneurship in the field of bioeconomy, as well as related opportunities and challenges.

Survey targeted at Government & Industry
The Bioregions Facility seeks to support regional level policymakers to take advantage of strong regional policy tools and global best practices, create mutually beneficial partnerships with the private sector, and deeply understand the unique regional challenges and supporting conditions for the bioeconomy.
The survey has been launched in six regions: North Karelia, Basque Country, North Rhine-Westphalia, Tuscany, Castilla y León and Central Bohemia. The launch is currently being prepared in Catalonia and Flanders. A variety of other regions has shown interest and is assessing the potential for launch in their region.
