At the University of Hohenheim we are fully committed to educating system changers. That is why we developed the open online course 'Concepts of Sustainable Bioeconomy', which provides a holistic and interdisciplinary perspective on bioeconomy to all students, from bachelor programs to researchers, practitioners, employers and everyone working and interested in this vibrant field.
About the course:
The open online course "Concepts of Sustainable Bioeconomy" describes the bioeconomy and its underlying concepts from a meta-level. It addresses key questions such as: How can bioeconomy contribute to sustainability? What is the role of innovation and knowledge in the bioeconomy? What is necessary for the transition towards a sustainable bioeconomy?
