About BIOSPARK
BIOSPARK — Skills Promotion and Awareness for Regenerative Knowledge — is a Horizon Europe project building the human capacity that the circular bioeconomy needs to thrive.
Students, professionals, educators and citizens.
One Bio-Based Education Centre per EU Member State.
Built with academia and industry.
A self-sustaining knowledge network for Europe.
What we do
We translate Europe's bioeconomy ambitions into concrete learning opportunities, training programmes and regional collaboration.
Build a permanent European network of Bio-Based Education Centres that delivers high-quality bioeconomy skills.
An inclusive, regenerative Europe where every region has access to bioeconomy education and lifelong learning.
Openness, sustainability, equity and scientific rigour guide every BIOSPARK activity and partnership.
Why Europe needs this
Europe has set ambitious targets for circularity, climate neutrality and sustainable resource use. Achieving them requires a workforce — and a society — that understands bio-based systems and can put them into practice across sectors.
BIOSPARK addresses this gap by connecting universities, research institutions, industry and innovation agencies into a single, interoperable European learning fabric.
Open to every audience, from school students to senior professionals.
Built around circular, nature-positive principles.
Designed with the people who will teach and learn from it.
Measured against tangible outcomes for regions and learners.
