LIFT

Summary

Europe is shifting to an economy that is making greater and more sustainable use of renewable resources. Aside from the clear environmental benefits, embracing wider use of a bioeconomy offers numerous opportunities, including increased European competitiveness, reduced reliance on imports of energy, food and raw materials and new employment opportunities.

To accelerate this transition to a circular economy, a number of Coordination and Support Actions (CSAs) have been established. These deal with areas such as standardisation, public awareness-raising, foresight and market studies, education, business model and business cases helping establish and grow the industry and boosting market uptake of the products.

Several of these CSAs are funded through the BBI JU. The role of the LIFT project is to maximise the value and impact of these CSAs by promoting collaboration between stakeholders. It will prove a global overview of the overarching objectives and make recommendations for future effective CSAs.
