The RELIEF Project Concludes with Powerful Tools to Advance the Bioeconomy in Farming

After a successful multi-year collaboration, the RELIEF Project has come to a close, leaving behind a comprehensive set of tools, knowledge resources, and innovative learning materials designed to accelerate the integration of bioeconomy principles into European farming practices. 

The project’s mission was clear: to enhance the capabilities of Higher Education (HE) and Vocational Education and Training (VET) systems in preparing professionals and students to support the agricultural sector’s transition to a more sustainable, circular economy.

Key Outcomes of the RELIEF Project
The RELIEF consortium has:

• Designed a skills-based training approach tailored to the needs of the bioeconomy transition.
• Developed innovative and multidisciplinary learning materials for HE students, agronomists, and farming advisors.
• Fostered collaboration between education providers, research institutions, and the agricultural business sector.
• Empowered stakeholders and policymakers, regional authorities, educators, and practitioners, to access high-quality training through an open e-learning platform.
