Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda
The Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SKIA) details themes, instruments, tools and measures to bring the European bioeconomy forward under the next Framework Programme “Horizon Europe” as well as the European Bioeconomy Strategy and Action Plan.

The SKIA was developed by the BSW in close collaboration with the Natural Resources Institute Finland (LUKE).

BSW Technical Note
The BSW discussed at its Meeting in Helsinki on 7 June 2017 the relationship between the Circular Economy and the Bioeconomy. Starting point of these deliberations was the visit to the 1st World Circular Economy Forum held in Helsinki on June 5 and 6.

The Technical Note "SYNERGY AND ADDED VALUE OF BIOECONOMY AND CIRCULAR ECONOMY" details the views of the members of the BSW. It highlights the synergies between these two policy initiatives, explores their unique features and argues for better definitions, stronger policy interactions and joint developments.

BSW Policy Brief Document
The BSW discussed at its Meeting in Paris on 23 and 24 February 2017  the Member States' and Associated Countries' needs regarding the current refresh and potential future revision of the EU Commission's Bioeconomy Strategy and Action Plan. The members of the BSW highlighted the need for a full revision of the Bioeconomy Strategy and Action Plan and gave concrete recommendations for the future development of the EU bioeconomy. The conclusions of the BSW and its recommendations are detailed in a Policy Brief document which was discussed at the SCAR Plenary meeting on 21 June 2017. The Policy Brief represents the views of the members of the BSW.
