Publication: Luxembourg : Publications Office of the European Union, cop. 2013Notes: Sumario: Europe is committed to excel in smart, inclusive and sustainable growth. In this context, the Europe 2020 strategy highlights the building of a bioeconomy by 2020 as one of the deliverables under its flagship initiative "Innovation Union". The Commission has recently presented the communication "Innovating for sustainable growth : A bioeconomy for Europe" (COM (2012) 60 final). The on-line public consultation conducted in connection with the preparation of this communication found that a large majority (>85%) of respondents saw significant advantages in developing a European strategy on a sustainable bio-based economy as follows: - Supporting bio-based markets and the creation of economic growth and highly-skilled jobs (88,3%) - Fostering the move towards a zero waste society (90,4 %) - Securing a sufficient supply of food and biomass (88,3 %) - Integrated, sustainable agricultural, aquatic and ecosystem services (89,9 %) - Strengthening the research and innovation base (85,7 %) The above-mentioned communication also sets out a comprehensive bioeconomy action plan. The plan includes the establishment of a public-private partnership on research and innovation for biobased industries as a means to promote the development of integrated and diversified biorefineries, including their biomass supply chains. Consequently, the aim of a public-private partnership has been proposed in Horizon 2020, the future EU framework program for research and innovation Materia / lugar / evento: Protección del medio ambiente Economia sostenible Desarrollo sostenible I+D+i Política medioambiental Programas comunitarios Encuestas Unión Europea Otros autores: Oficina de Publicaciones Oficiales de las Comunidades Europeas
