BlueRev aims to enhance the blue bio-based sector in three pilot regions across Europe: Denmark, Italy, and Estonia. The project focuses on creating tailored value chains, from utilizing co-products as feedstock to processing them into final products. This initiative seeks to revitalize local communities both socially and territorially, while also contributing to positive environmental and social impacts.The objectives of WP5 are to support the overall project by developing and implementing a training programme aimed at increasing skilled job opportunities and small-scale establishments in the bio-based sector. This includes enhancing innovative communication for small businesses and business-to-consumers.The training programme is focused on three pillars:• Focuses on developing skilled jobs and small-scale establishments in the bioeconomy.• Comprises four modules with a minimum of 13 lessons.• Targets producer associations and master's and PhD students, reaching 100-200 participants.The expected impact is:• Increase opportunities for skilled jobs and small-scale establishments in the bioeconomy.• Support local and regional rural development and economy.• Raise awareness of bio-based options among authorities and communities.
