"<< Background >>The EC Green Deal Action Plan has the ambition to make the EU’s economy sustainable, by boosting the efficient use of resources toward a clean, circular economy and by restoring biodiversity and cutting pollution. The green industry helps to solve environmental problems through the development of innovative solutions. In fact, biotechnology itself is one of the most promising sectors to support the sustainability mission (carbon-neutral, digital and circular society). Teaching and promoting sustainable/green practice among biotech stakeholders (education, startups/enterprises, NGOs, etc.) is an important action of the Green Deal Pact. The universities can and should do more, particularly by becoming role models for wider society in their own environmental policies and targets.Four higher education institutions (HEIs) are involved in the partnership. Three of them (UASVM Bucharest-Romania, UP Valencia-Spain and UniPerugia-Italy) are providers of Biotechnological educational programs, and one (RAU, Romania) is a private university providing Business education. The consortium is joined by a Research&Education Center (MAICh, Greece) accredited as a provider for Master level education in the Agri-Food and Business areas. In addition, a Romanian NGO (CBM), oriented toward professional training and consultancy in biotech and environmental topics, is completing the partnership. A weak point detected in the partners’ strategies and action plans was related to their link with incubators/accelerators, science parks and other external green entrepreneurial initiatives. A common conclusion of their assessment was that all partners lack an effective and efficient connection with the entrepreneurial mentorship process, including the green startup side.<< Objectives >>The main scope of the proposal is to develop an innovative educational framework for Biotech & Economics graduates from Romanian, Spanish, Italian and Greek partners toward a Biotech Green Entrepreneurial pathway, able to support the Biotech sector to solve environmental and climate change problems.The Specific Objectives are as follows: #SO1: To deliver innovative educational resources (new module course, training materials, mentoring guide, teaching/learning digital portal) for Master and PhD students in Biotech & Economics covering the topic of Biotech Green start-ups/enterprises. #SO2: To develop specific knowledge and competences in Biotech Green Entrepreneurship by direct training of 55 teachers/tutors and 25 Master and PhD students from the Biotech & Economics areas. # SO3: Strengthen the integration of project’s partners into national and European Biotech Green Entrepreneurial Ecosystem.<< Implementation >>For the objectives' achievement transversal/continuous activities will be implemented, as well as dedicated/specific activities.In the TRANSVERSAL/CONTINUOUS ACTIVITIES will be taken into account: (A1) Project Management, (A2) Visibility and Dissemination and (A3) Quality assurance (Monitoring and Evaluation).Specific activities:#Four transnational project meetings during 24 months of implementation completed with virtual meetings and communications.#R1-R4 (Innovative Results). Four results are proposed to be developed during the project implementation and are targeting HE students, professors and mentors. R1 is intended to be a Critical assessment of the teaching and learning practices in Green Biotech Education; R2 envisages the development of a course syllabus in “Biotech Green Entrepreneurship "" to be taught by blended-learning tools to Master and PhD students in Life Sciences/Biotech & Business; R3 is going to be a guide for the mentors involved in the biotech green entrepreneurial mentorship programs delivered for Life Sciences/Biotech &Business students; R4 is a Portal of Biotech Green Entrepreneurial Ecosystem; is a key result for the biotech green networking and entrepreneurial ecosystem development.# Multiplication events. One event will be delivered per partner country, to reach 150 participants in-face and other 150 virtually. Will involve students, professors, tutors in the field of Biotech and economics, as well as biotech business and green NGOs.#Training activities. Three training activities are schedule which will target: (1) A job shadowing activity for professors/trainers/tutors with biotech green mentors (2) A professors training in the topic of Biotech Green Entrepreneurship; (3) A students Summer School in Biotech Green Entrepreneurship to work in multicultural/international teams on green entrepreneurship and green behaviour/practices and to get in touch with green mentors.<< Results >>#Innovative products/results (R): R1 is intended to be a Critical assessment of the teaching and learning practices in Green Biotech Education; R2 envisages the development of a course syllabus in “Biotech Green Entrepreneurship "" to be taught by blended-learning tools to Master and PhD students in Life Sciences/Biotech & Business; R3 The result is going to be a guide for the mentors involved in the biotech green entrepreneurial mentorship programs delivered for Life Sciences/Biotech &Business students; R4 is a Portal of Biotech Green Entrepreneurial Ecosystem. Multiplication events (E): 4 multiplication events (1 event/partner country); 4 event agendas developed; minimum 90 in-person and 60 virtual beneficiaries in the multiplication event; 4 innovative products transferred to the beneficiaries; 4 attendance lists; 4 sets of evaluation evaluation’s feedbacks.Trainings (C1-C3): 3 training contents; 3 selection procedures; 30 Biotech and Economics HE professors/tutors trained in green mentors job shadowing; 25 Biotech and Economics HE professors trained in Biotech Green entrepreneurship; 25 Biotech and Economics HE students (Master/PhD) trained in Biotech Green entrepreneurship; 25 diploma supplements completed (with 9 ECTS); 5 international working teams of students (5 students/team); 5 virtually run Biotech Green start-ups; 90 training evaluation feedbacksVisibility/ Dissemination: 1 revised dissemination plan; 6 analysis reports on the dissemination activities (1/partner); 1 dissemination general report; 1 project website; at least 10 other links to the project website; 2000 website visitors; at least one social media on-line account (Facebook, Instagram); at least 5 results’ dissemination articles published in local or national journals; at least 5 presentations in Biotech events (workshops, conferences);Other. #Result of the networking in the Biotech Green Entrepreneurship Portal: 1 Biotech Green Entrepreneurship network developed; database of the Green Biotech relevant stakeholders in partner countries"
