Resumen de proyecto:

EOHUB will contribute to achieve smart, sustainable and inclusive growth, through stimulating entrepreneurship and innovation in the field of EOs, fitting within the EU 2020 strategy. It does so by providing a strong partnership between higher education institutions, their research departments, and business, making the knowledge triangle work in a relative new sector with increasing opportunities for research, innovation and economic growth. EOHUB aims to increase the capacity of higher education institutions and business to integrate research results and innovative practice into the educational offer, and to exploit the potential for marketable process, methods and services in the field of BAEOs. Moreover, it helps graduates and PhD students to develop new entrepreneurship activities and marketable services in line with their curricula, which too often remain only at the level of “theoretical applications” and “case studies”.


The project responds to changing needs of the modern economy, anticipating new careers in line with the global challenges and issues of climate change, ecosystem services and biodiversity degradation.
EOHUB will create a supporting EU hub linked with associations of economic sectors (forest owner´s associations, Associations for Medicinal and Aromatic Plants, European Herb Growers Association, International Society for Horticultural Sciences, International Trade Association, etc.), and with association of research institutions strictly linked with the project topic to increase the EU governance and to ensure funding after the project time-life.
