Focus of our project is the bio-based economy (BBE). Our first task was to identify what workers need to know about new jobs in this growing sector. We have identified these competences in a few sectors of BBE:

• Production of Algae
• Biogas
• Cereals for bio-packaging
• Setting up a BBE company

One of the outcomes of our project was an on-line ranking list to indicate the importance of the competences. Maybe you have received this list as well and participated in it. Thank you very much for that. It has resulted in a clear ranking. Results of this ranking are placed on our Navigator website. Please have a look at it https://navigator.biocompetences.eu/

Eventually, our Navigator is the place where candidates (teachers, trainers, students, workers) can find all learning materials about BBE as well. We are interested in your opinion about our Navigator. Especially we would like to know, if there are any language problems. If so, please let us know.

Now we start our next phase in the project: to develop learning material. With on-line conferences we can do our work, also in this Corona time. As part of it, we look for interested people, who want to participate in the try outs of these materials. Are you interested? Please contact us.

We want to support the development of a BBE in our countries. We cannot do that without you! We need your opinion. What kind of training your employees need. And for teachers: Is BBE an issue in your learning program, in your curriculum. Do you need specific material? Training? Please let us know. The more we know about your needs, the better we can develop customized materials.
