In addition, the Festival will help the European Commission to gather views on an update of the Bioeconomy Strategy and Action Plan.

- a high-level event, organised by the European Commission, in Brussels, on 13-14/03/2024.
- more than 30 satellite events, organised by third party organisations all over Europe, to enable youth to take part in the festival.
