Global Bioenergy Partnership
The Secretary General of EUBIA, Dr. Giuliano Grassi, co-chaired the initial Preparatory Meeting for an International Partnership on Bioenergy in Rome 6 September 2005, which followed the Rome workshop (14 June 2005) and the commitments of the G8 Leaders in Gleneagles in July 2005. The outcome of this process resulted in the creation of the Global Bioenergy Partnership (GBEP) of which EUBIA is a partner organisation.
For more information on this partnership, please view our dedicated page to the Global Bioenergy Partnership.
EUBIA-Russia Framework Cooperation
In January 2005, a cooperation agreement was signed between EUBIA and the Federal Agency of Science and Innovations of the Russian Federation, intending to improve scientific, technical and industrial cooperation for the promotion of modern strategies and innovative bioenergy technologies and to enhance the exchange of information and technological transfer etc. In this respect, a number of meetings have already been held with different stakeholders in order to define the implementation of the envisaged activities, such as joint workshops, conferences, transfer of technology agreements etc.
