SYMOBIO: Systemic Monitoring and modelling of the bioeconomy

The project explores and develops scientific basis for a systemic monitoring and modelling of the bioeconomy (BE) in Germany. The three year project, led by University of Kassel, is sponsored by the German Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). Detailed information can be found here.

SYMOBIO 2.0 now deepens and extends the findings from SYMOBIO 1.0.
