The objective of WP 1 in the SAT-BBE project is to define the scope and definition of the analysis tool for monitoring the evolution of the bioeconomy, or more specifically:

1. to structue the concepts to be used in a bioeconomy strategy, including both the place of sustainability within the bioeconomy, as well as the biobased sectors and its drivers in relation to the rest of the economy;
2. to elaborate the foundations and analytical setting for a systems analysis framework and monitoring the implementation of a biobased economy strategy using appropriate data and indicators. The work will be done in particular in relation to other EU policies where there are interdependencies;
3. to communicate the conceptual structure of a systems analysis framework as can be applied to an EU bioeconomy strategy.
