SUMMARY:The economics and governance of the global bioeconomy: the road to sustainable development?
DESCRIPTION:We are excited to announce the inaugural BioEcon Workshop, dedi
 cated to exploring the economics and governance of the global bioeconomy. 
 We invite you to contribute to this significant event by submitting your a
 bstracts and joining the BioEcon network.\n\nAbout the Workshop:\n\nThe ci
 rcular bioeconomy transition, a transformative process encompassing techno
 logical, institutional, and social innovations, aims to (i) foster the rep
 lacement of non-renewable resources with renewable biological resources an
 d (ii) support the development of entirely new bio-based products and proc
 esses. For the Global North, it represents a shift to resource efficiency.
  For the Global South, it represents a potential pathway to sustainable de
 velopment and industrialization. However, the transition to a bioeconomy a
 lso raises concerns about unintended consequences, the distribution of ben
 efits, and resource pressures. This workshop aims to create a network of r
 esearchers and lay the groundwork for future activities including annual w
 orkshops, shared research papers, thematic conference sessions, exchanges,
  and special issues in academic journals.\n\nWe invite contributions on a 
 range of topics related to the bioeconomy, including but not limited to:\n
 \nDefinition, measurement, and narratives of the bioeconomy\n\nInnovation 
 systems and transition management\n\nRegulatory, economic, and information
  policy instruments\n\nGovernance of global value chains\n\nModelling path
 ways, risks, and scenario analysis\n\nEconomic, social, and environmental 
 impact assessments\n\nBiodiversity, justice, and marginalized groups\n\nTh
 is workshop will facilitate exchanges among potential network members, lay
 ing the groundwork for future activities such as the organization of annua
 l workshops, shared research papers, special sessions at conferences, juni
 or researcher exchanges, and special issues in academic journals.\n\n\n\nW
 hen: October 9, 2024 (12:00 PM) to October 10, 2024 (15:00)\n\nWhere: Univ
 ersity of Passau, Passau, Germany\n\nWho: We welcome contributions from ea
 rly-career researchers (doctoral students, postdoctoral researchers, junio
