The questionnaire (https://ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/runner/biostep-questionnaire) comprises one part of BioSTEP’s consultative process and will help to understand how different actors perceive the challenges, opportunities and policy gaps surrounding the development and strengthening of national and regional bioeconomy strategies. BioSTEP welcomes your participation as it is a key component of gathering insights on existing (policy) challenges and potential (policy) measures to address them. The results will inform the design of three policy workshops, which BioSTEP will organise in 2016. The outcome of this process will be a list of targeted policy recommendations for the (further) development of balanced and informed bioeconomy strategies at the regional, national and European levels. The questionnaire should take approximately 15 minutes to complete. BioSTEP would be grateful for your completed response before December 6, 2015, until which time you may save your entries and resume the consultation via the “Save as Draft” button. If you would like to receive further information on the BioSTEP project and the upcoming policy workshops, please provide your contact details in section 18 of the questionnaire. For any questions about the content or functioning of the questionnaire, please contact the BioSTEP team at consultation(at)bio-step.eu. Source: BioSTEP
