Science Year 2020|21 – Bioeconomy

“People around the world are currently facing major challenges: The bioeconomy is more necessary than ever in times of climate change, a growing world population, and a drastic decline in species. Today's economy needs to change - and science can provide solutions."

Prof. Dr. Andrea Kruse Scientific Director of the Science Year

“Bioeconomy is the leading topic at the University of Hohenheim and shapes both research and teaching. Bioeconomy connects the three faculties, so that we in Hohenheim span the thematic arc from biological basics, plant and animal production, and new technical processes to necessary change processes in economy and society."

Prof. Dr. Stephan Dabbert
President

“In 2021, the Science Year will be dominated by the bioeconomy. Bioeconomy refers to the sustainable production and innovative use of biologically renewable materials and resources. It allows us to replace mineral and fossil raw materials and manufacture products in a more environmentally and climate friendly way."

Prof. Dr. Iris Lewandowski
Chief Bioeconomy Officer (CBO)
