Educating students for a Biobased Economy
For a successful transition to a Biobased Economy (less dependent on fossil fuels) The Netherlands require thousands of 'green' specialists. Wageningen University and Van Hall Larenstein Leeuwarden (both part of Wageningen UR) have established a Centre for Biobased Economy in collaboration with HAS Den Bosch, CAH Dronten and InHolland Delft to provide the necessary training. The centre, which was officially launched on January 1, focuses primarily on knowledge development within the 'green' higher education institutions, and aims to thereafter transfer that knowledge to industry and other educational institutions.
