On October 5th, the workshop “Developing a business case from your research project” was held in Valladolid. This workshop was organized by EIT Food and Junta de Castilla y León in collaboration with three structures of excellence in Castilla y Léon – BioEcoUVa, IuFOR and IPS – that are developing technological researches in the field of circularity.

The Counselor for Education, Rocío Lucas Navas, gave the Keynote speech at the workshop. 

The aim of the workshop was to support outstanding researchers by giving them the opportunity to build independent research networks and helping them to get in contact with experts who will help them develop marketable proposals based on the technologies they are implementing.

The thematic core of the workshop was the concepts of zero emissions, circularity and bioeconomy.

At the same time, researchers and PhD students received first-hand information from companies in the sector, like Bayer or PepsiCo, about possible orientations of their work to improve collaboration and application in the market.
