Abstract

The overall goal of the BioSTEP project is to develop a set of recommendations for the participatory design of bioeconomy strategies at different levels. This paper is the first deliverable under WP3 and focuses on two national case studies. WP3 aims: - To identify and collate information on national and regional strategies relating to the bioeconomy, which are examples of good practice in terms of the participation of a broad range of stakeholders and citizens in the design, implementation and monitoring/review of the strategies, - To analyse these strategies and the mechanisms used to ensure the participation of stakeholders and citizens, and to synthesise findings, with a view to drawing out insights on participative ways of governing the bioeconomy, and - To make this knowledge available to a wider audience, with a view to raising awareness and encouraging dialogue.

It also explores the benefits and challenges of different approaches to participation in these policy strategies, and draws
