CommBeBiz Knowledge Portal
A one stop shop’ for researchers in the European Bioeconomy community who would like to explore the potential for their research to have an impact beyond the scientific community. The Knowledge Portal is designed to stimulate and facilitate clearer thinking about how to effectively progress the knowledge arising out of publicly funded research in Europe in order to develop the bioeconomy in Europe.
Building the bioeconomy – creating impact through communication
The seeds of the CommNet network were sown in 2005 when a number of those involved in the dissemination of Framework 6-funded projects in food-related areas formed an informal network to discuss their activities and share best practice. The network tried to deal with many of the challenges faced by those aiming to get the results of EU research out to relevant stakeholders.
As the value of such a network in helping to support communicators was recognised, the CommFABnet project began in 2012 to continue the CommNet network, broadening the reach to cover projects funded under framework programmes 6 and 7 in the KBBE (Knowledge-Based Bioeconomy) areas of food, fisheries, forestry, agriculture and biotechnology. The aim of the project was to facilitate the communication
of EU Bioeconomy research to the general public and to key target groups including: media, young people, industry and policy makers.
The CommNet network, as part of the CommFABnet project, included project members, individual members from EU-funded projects and subscribers, who received updates and newsletters after signing up on the project website www.commnet.eu.
The CommNet networks have been key to the success of the CommFABnet project.
Projects in the network were offered a range of services when they joined: free communications training courses; support with communicating to the general public, to industry and policy makers and to children and young people. Further details of the activities and achievements in these areas are provided later in this report.

Insights on the Road to Innovation – Maximising researcher impact through communications and business support
The focus of the CommBeBiz H2020 project and its actions has been the researcher working within the Bioeconomy. This is because the ‘Big Idea’ that is the Bioeconomy needs confident and capable ambassadors who can speak with conviction and passion to society and interested stakeholders, backed up by the ‘evidence’ and experience that only the researcher and their authentic voice can bring.
CommBeBiz’s key conclusion is that the organisations that surround the research community – the ‘Ecosystem’ – must consider how best to support and ‘future-proof’ this central resource in order to bring the Bioeconomy to fruition. Researchers themselves must also arm themselves with the skills required to deliver the research impact that is now required of them.
CommBeBiz’s BeBizBlueprint presents the project’s key messages for the ‘Ecosystem’ together with the key learnings accumulated throughout the three years of its funded period.

BIOBASENWE – Bridging the innovation gap of biobased breakthroughs
RUBIZMO will identify business models with high potential for empowering rural communities to take advantage of the opportunities arising from improved value chain optimisation. It will directly supporting the creation of sustainable jobs and growth in rural economies, supporting a multi-actor approach for generation of shared-value. Ultimately, the project looks to contribute to rural development in Europe, supporting the Europe 2020 Strategy for Smart, Sustainable and Inclusive Growth, as well as supporting Regional and Rural Development policy.
To do this, the project will identify innovative business models (developed or identified in existing projects under FP7, H2020, Interreg, Central Europe, etc.) with a significant potential to support modernisation and sustainable growth in rural economies, and relevant to the food sector, bio-based value chains and ecosystem services. Business models with the potential to contribute to the modernisation and sustainable growth of rural economies will be selected, packaged and classified according to their nature, comprising technologies, services, business support structures, financing mechanisms, etc.
This will result in the creation of four practical, user-oriented tools:
– Virtual library of business cases, to inspire and inform potential entrepreneurs about business opportunities;
– Guidelines on creating favourable conditions for the deployment of innovative business models, to help public authorities and rural networks create adequate framework conditions for rural innovation;
– Toolkit for clustering and network development in rural areas;
– Transformation support tool, to help individual entrepreneurs understand which business models are best adapted to their situation, and how to go about implementing change.
The project will then prepare Europe-wide upscaling and replication in rural areas using real life cases, taking account of the complexity of transferring value chains.

PROBIO – Professional support to the uptake of bioeconomy RD results towards market, further research and policy for a more competitive European bioeconomy
ProBIO is a support action directly benefiting consortia of FP7 KBBE and H2020 bioeconomy. The overall objective is two-fold:
- To support the flow of knowledge-based bioeconomy project results from research to market, as well as back to R&I.
- To foster the networking and knowledge exchange between different European bioeconomy initiatives under H2020 and FP7 and the most important players in the field thus raising awareness towards policy makers and engaging the general public.
To achieve its objectives, ProBIO screens all 411 KBBE projects for results, describes them in interaction with the KBBE consortia, and finally classifies each result according to its nature. The results will be of different technological maturity level: some will be mature for direct market introduction, others need further development to reach a higher TRL, and some are not technological results, but knowledge and instruments of relevance to policy makers.
The ProBIO experts take this diverse nature and maturity level of research results into account and support each type of result with dedicated professional coaching and tools with a view to:
- Accelerating market entry through business coaching of the most promising R&D results
- Facilitating the flow of knowledge into new R&I projects in order to reach a higher TRL level
- Feeding policy-relevant results into the political process to inform policy making
ProBIO also foresees a range of events and communication activities supporting knowledge exchange and linkage of different actors along the bioeconomy value chains and making use of synergies through networking.
The multi-disciplinary team of the ProBIO consortium is built around highly specialised green innovation consultancies and a European expert group who together have an outstanding track record in promoting the uptake of results from public research. Additional thematic expertise is ensured by two technical centres, and communication is in professional hands, too.

LIFT – Unleash the potential of CSAs results to contribute to sustainable and competitive Bio-Based Industries in Europe
LIFT will maximise the impact of Coordination and Support Actions (CSAs) by valorising their outcomes and promoting the collaboration among them. Lift aims at identifying gaps to be addressed to ensure a stimulating environment boosting the bio-based economy. In short LIFT will:
- Provide a global vision of objectives and results of past and ongoing Coordination and Support Actions
- Maximise the impact of CSAs results, and make them actionable by industries and policy makers.
- Analyse existing CSA programming gaps and identify challenges to be addressed, through multistakeholders’ collaboration
- Raise awareness and communicate the CSAs’ contribution in addressing bioeconomy-related challenges
- Provide actionable recommendations and suggestions for new CSA topics for AWP 2020
LIFT will start with thorough mapping of relevant CSAs, the synthesis of their results and the analysis of CSA programming gaps vis-à-vis long-term bio-based industry objectives.
LIFT will cover the identification of all relevant stakeholders and the creation and animation of a network of stakeholders.
Next, LIFT findings and assets will be made readily available, integrated and especially actionable by industries and policy makers. To this end LIFT will unlock bio-economy CSA outputs through an online library, transform LIFT findings and results into Actionable Knowledge, and organise active stakeholder dialogue through Mobilisation and Mutual Learning (MML) workshops. LIFT activities, events, achievements, findings and online library results will be disseminated widely.
The project will culminate in recommendations for future CSA programming contributing to the creation of a stimulating environment for a sustainable, strong and competitive bio-based industry in Europe.
The recommendations will be validated with EC, BIC and BBI JU. They will include clear measures to ensure sustainability and exploitation of results.
The LIFT consortium is industry-led and well- experienced in BBI JU.

KETBIO – A novel cluster model to bring KEY ENABLING BIOTECHNOLOGY research closer to markets and society
This KETBIO project aims at establishing a novel cluster model of biotechnology research projects under HORIZON 2020 to enhance and demonstrate the impact and the outreach of EU funded key enabling biotechnology research. All impact of research is reflected in an appropriate up-take of research outputs through business and society at large as well as through integration into technological and societal systems, the here proposed novel clustering model will thus act as a pivot trajectory to achieve a maximum of these goals for the biotechnology: The proposed cluster will strive to further RTD and innovation through networking and alliance forming and through capacity gains of cluster members. The envisaged clustering of projects and linkage to knowledge transfer activities will allow accelerated industrial exploitation of results through partnering and will maximise impact through exploiting synergies in knowledge transfer and communication. Supporting and coordination activities of KETBIO will lead to the set-up of an actively managed cluster-network of projects facilitating sharing of insights, mutual learning, working group exchange, partnering with industry, dissemination of results and exploring of exploitation pathways.
To reach these goals, KETBIO will
- Actively promote networking and knowledge exchange between research-industry-policy stakeholders
- Establish platforms and online working groups for elaboration on RTD and innovation
- Facilitate capacity building through training, webinars, including a lecture library
- Provide insights, information and interaction through technology review and science intelligence
- Enable partnering between research and industry/ policy partners
- Explore a multitude of exploitation pathways, including dissemination of results to the specialist public and to larger audiences
