On 26 September 2019, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) organised a stakeholder steering committee meeting in Paris, France on “Bolstering biotechnology research and education: Building human and institutional capacities for the bioeconomy”. Its objective was to advise UNESCO on the organisation of a conference on this subject as well as consider issues that are pertinent to building institutional and human capacities for the bioeconomy, such as how to promote biotechnology/bioeconomy education and training in secondary and tertiary education and in research institutions, both in the public and private sectors.
