About the project

The main goal of the GoDanuBio project is to address the migration of rural labor through the revitalization of rural areas by exploiting their bioeconomic potential and using participatory multi-level governance.

The GoDanuBio approach will facilitate systematic collaboration and participatory governance and private actors, which is necessary to reconcile rural and urban cooperation at all levels.

The long-term goal of the project is to increase the socio-economic status of the regions, contribute to the protection of the environment, climate and resource protection, and also support the development of rural areas. An ecosystem will be created for the systematic multi-level governance of the local bioeconomy with actors from the public, academia, industry and political decision-making.
