Research & Development 2018

Abstract

Research and development within the focal area bioeconomy at Novia UAS campus Raseborg, with its long-term focus on high quality research in sustainable bioeconomy, is of fundamental importance in our work for combating climate changes.

This Research Report of activities and achievement 2018 shows that we have both strengthen and widen our knowledge base in sustainable bioeconomy, management and the use of natural resources.

Our scientific and applied projects with research topics stretching from e.g. local economy, sustainable production and consumption, consumer behaviour, bio-based materials, changes in marine communities under changing climate, effects of cormorants on fish stocks, to evolutionary adaptations to environmental changes, is a strong base for our further work in strengthening our knowhow in sustainable bioeconomy.

We continuously work to enable our students to take part of the research work. This in order to give them insights into the latest advances in different research topics and increasing their understanding of the importance of research as a base for sustainable bioeconomy.

Our efforts continue in building a stronger knowledge cluster in bioeconomy and we are happy to welcome our new senior researchers that joined our Bioeconomy Research Team in 2018.
