D3.6 - BBioNets Knowledge Transfer Activities - initial version - Draft

This document outlines the BBioNets Project's (BBioNets) Knowledge Transfer Activities (KTAs) and their role in implementing the "BBioNets for Everyone" concept, providing a clear overview of KTAs' objectives and contextual background. At the core of the KTAs are the Operational Groups (OGs) and their potential to support the dissemination and uptake of Bio-Based Technologies (BBTs). These activities aim to engage underrepresented groups -such as unemployed individuals, women, and youth- through the dedicated "BBioNets for Everyone" concept. The KTAs follow a phased approach beginning with broad content targeting general audiences and gradually evolving to address more specialized groups with increasingly tailored content. KTAs planned within the framework of the BBioNets include: · Info-days to: · Promote the concept and highlight the need for and the benefits of establishing OGs at national level; and · Showcase BBTs that have been successfully implemented in the Represented Region (RR). · Train-the-Trainer (TT) workshops with advisors, other multipliers and BBioNets partners meeting to exchange experiences, solutions, concerns, ways to overcome barriers · small-scale mentoring to provide customised support to farmers'/foresters' co-operatives/ associations so as to: · Boost potential collaborations amongst farmers/foresters; · Provide guidance to allow further understanding of BBT specifics; and · Promote OG creation through networking.
