RIBES Publishes Its Public Deliverables to Support Inclusive and Evidence-Based Bioeconomy Governance Across Europe
Brussels, January 2026
The Horizon Europe project RIBES has made its public project deliverables openly available to all stakeholders through the RIBES website, providing free access to research outputs, analytical reports, and practical guidance on advancing inclusive regional governance for the circular bioeconomy.
Developed throughout the project in close collaboration with regional authorities, policymakers, researchers, civil society organisations, and bioeconomy practitioners, the deliverables consolidate RIBES’ work into a coherent set of accessible, evidence-based resources. They are designed not only to inform, but to be actively used in regional planning, policy dialogue, capacity-building, and co-creation processes.
By publishing these materials openly, RIBES reinforces its commitment to transparency, knowledge sharing, and stakeholder engagement. The project invites readers to go beyond consultation and to engage with the deliverables as living tools that can support regional decision-making, institutional learning, and long-term bioeconomy transitions.
From Research Outputs to Tools for Regional Action
Strengthening governance for the circular bioeconomy remains a complex challenge across Europe. Regions often face fragmented policy frameworks, limited coordination across sectors, and unequal stakeholder participation in decision-making processes.
RIBES’ public deliverables address these challenges by:
-
Analysing regional governance frameworks, capacities, and enabling conditions for bioeconomy development,
-
Documenting insights, methodologies, and lessons learned from Multi-Actor Transformative Forums and regional co-development processes,
-
Translating complex research findings into structured, practical knowledge tailored to regional and local stakeholders.
Together, these deliverables form a shared knowledge base that bridges research, policy, and practice, while supporting regions in designing inclusive, place-based pathways towards a circular bioeconomy.
Designed to Be Engaged With, Not Archived
The RIBES deliverables are intentionally designed to be used, adapted, and discussed. They can support stakeholders in:
-
Informing regional and national policy discussions on bioeconomy governance and sustainability transitions,
-
Strengthening institutional capacities and participatory governance mechanisms,
-
Supporting practitioners, researchers, and facilitators involved in regional bioeconomy planning and implementation,
-
Inspiring peer learning and exchange across European regions.
By engaging with these resources, stakeholders contribute to a broader, evidence-based conversation on how bioeconomy governance can become more inclusive, resilient, and aligned with regional realities.
Access the RIBES Public Deliverables
All public deliverables are now available to read and download via the RIBES website:

The materials are free and accessible to all interested stakeholders. Readers are encouraged to explore the deliverables, share them within their networks, and use them as reference points in ongoing regional initiatives related to the circular bioeconomy.
