The Häme University of Applied Sciences (HAMK) will host the third Open Bioeconomy Week (OBW) between 18-19 May 2022.

The event is co-organised by HAMK, the Natural Resources Institute Finland (Luke), the Finnish Environment Institute (SYKE) and the University of Helsinki.

It will highlight current research innovations, trends, and the future of the bioeconomy through the lens of digitalisation and data utilisation, bringing together different academics, researchers, stakeholders, policymakers, business representatives and society.

This year the conference will include keynote speeches, innovative abstract sessions and a RUN-EU workshop about future skills in bioeconomy.

The RUN-EU workshop ‘Future skills and competencies for bioeconomy’ will take place on the second day of the event.
