Join a CASA-Bio Workshop and Help Plan a Future to Advance the U.S. Bioeconomy
Catalyzing Across Sectors to Advance the Bioeconomy (CASA-Bio; www.casa-bio.net) is a collaborative, facilitated activity, inspired by the Executive Order (EO) on Advancing Biotechnology and Biomanufacturing Innovation for a Sustainable, Safe, and Secure American Bioeconomy.
Stakeholders from Federal agencies, industry, and non-profits have identified a group of Subtheme Challenges that span the five Bioeconomy EO Themes:
🔆 climate change
🌾 food and agriculture
🚚 supply chain resilience
🩺 human health
🔀 cross cutting advances across all these sectors
Â
Now, there is an opportunity for the research community to provide input for the next step in the CASA-Bio activity!Â
Six interactive Advancement Workshops - designed to propel the bioeconomy forward - will focus on specific research and development challenges and opportunities for the bioeconomy, bringing together experts from academia, industry, and government. The topics of these workshops have been pulled from the community Town Halls that were hosted earlier in the year as well as meetings with government agencies.
Each workshop will include participants selected from open applications from the community and suggested by CASA-Bio organizations, ensuring a diverse range of perspectives and expertise. By working together we can develop strategies that leverage fundamental, use-inspired, and translational research and development to drive innovation and advance the bioeconomy.
Each workshop will be fully virtual and take place over two days in July or August.
