摘要

In February,the European Commission adopted a proposal for Council Regulation to establish nine joint undertakings under Horizon Europe,the EU's research and innovation framework programme for the period 2021-2027.The proposal includes the successor of the Bio-based Industries Joint Undertaking(BBI JU),a €3.7 billion public-private partnership between the European Union and the Bio-based Industries Consortium(BIC),that has invested over €700 million in 123 projects since 2014.The new partnership between the EU and the BIC-the Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Undertaking(CBE JU)-is expected to scale up technologies leading to industrial deployment,thus attracting investments and creating jobs,while reaching towards the goals of the Strategic Innovation Research Agenda 2017(SIRA).
