Online workshops on co-creation and trust in biotech. Explore tools to strengthen innovation relevance in agri-food and bio-based sectors.

The Horizon Europe project B-Trust is launching a series of online capacity-building workshops focused on building trust in biotechnology through co-creation. These workshops are designed for professionals and organisations in the agri-food and bio-based sectors, with dedicated sessions for academia, industry and the public sector.

Each two-hour session introduces participants to B-Trust’s Co-Creation Programme: a practical, adaptable framework developed through real engagement with farmers, consumers, researchers and companies across Europe. The programme offers new tools to better understand public perceptions, address concerns early in the innovation process and co-develop solutions that align with societal values.

The workshops are highly interactive, with space for peer discussion, guided exercises and tailored reflections for each sector. Participants will gain hands-on experience with trust-building approaches and explore how to apply them within their own organisations, research activities and policy work.

Topics covered include:

  • What drives or hinders trust in biotech
  • Insights from B-Trust’s research on public perception in Europe
  • How co-creation differs from traditional consultation
  • Tools and methods for involving stakeholders meaningfully
  • Strategies for implementing trust-building frameworks in practice

The workshops are free of charge and open to professionals working in innovation, policy, communication, research, or regulation in the biotech and agri-food fields.

Sessions will take place online from 09:00 to 11:00 CET on the following dates:

27 January 2026: Industry

3 February 2026: Academia

5 February 2026: Public Sector/Policy

These workshops are part of B-Trust’s wider effort to promote responsible, inclusive and socially grounded innovation in biotechnology.

This project is funded by the EU’s Horizon Europe programme (2021-2027).
