“…This makes it appropriate for favouring T-shaped profiles for graduates, i.e. profiles combining a deep expertise in a certain field, with integrative abilities allowing to move across different disciplines and link with them (Lask et al 2018 ). Bioeconomy demands cross-functional and multidisciplinary knowledge (Hakovirta and Lucia 2019 ).…”

This article provides useful information for universities offering forestry programs and facing the growing demand for bioeconomy education. An explorative survey on bioeconomy perception among 1400 students enrolled in 29 universities across nine European countries offering forestry programs was performed. The data have been elaborated via descriptive statistics and cluster analysis. Around 70% of respondents have heard about the bioeconomy, mainly through university courses. Students perceive forestry as the most important sector for bioeconomy; however, the extent of perceived importance of forestry varies between countries, most significantly across groups of countries along a North–South European axis. Although differences across bachelor and master programs are less pronounced, they shed light on how bioeconomy is addressed by university programs and the level of student satisfaction with this. These differences and particularities are relevant for potential development routes towards comprehensive bioeconomy curricula at European forestry universities with a forestry focus.

“…The "outstanding feature of the bioeconomist", wrote Lask and co-workers in 2017, "is interdisciplinary expertise built up from disciplinary expertise". 7 To shape these professionals, the team concluded, requires an interdisciplinary approach and new learning environments. Several universities across the world have launched new Master of Science (MSci) programmes in the bioeconomy.…”

The educational gap for which science is not taught to managers, and management is not taught to scientists, is a significant obstacle to a company's success also in the bioeconomy field. Companies worldwide eagerly seek for new managers, researchers and technologists owning new knowledge and skills in topics spanning from circular production processes through new energy technologies and green chemistry. Most employers, however, have difficulty recruiting qualified professionals due to the shortage of qualified professionals. This shortage includes bioeconomy managers capable to successfully lead bioeconomy companies. Shaping the managers of successful bioeconomy companies, we argue in this study, requires to transfer a closer understanding of the nature of bioeconomy companies and their competitive landscape, as well as identifying the main guiding principles for managing these organizations.
