Sažetak
The linear economy, based on fossil resources and the “take-make-waste” concept, needs to be replaced by the bioeconomy, based on biomass (especially residual biomass) as the main raw material and focused on circularity and sustainability. However, the transition from a linear to a circular (bio)economy brings many challenges and requirements, from changing public awareness to well-trained human resources throughout the value chain. As noted by the BioEast Initiative, the lack of education and skills in the bioeconomy is the main risk for the failure of the European Green Deal objectives and related EU strategies. Therefore, bioeconomy education is urgently needed at all levels of education and in addition to the education of policy makers and entrepreneurs. What the bioeconomy is, what the main drivers for bioeconomy are, how bioeconomy education should be designed, what are the current practices of bioeconomy education and training in the EU and what steps in education are needed to accelerate the transition from a linear to a circular bioeconomy will be discussed.
