Supported Events

The EAAE, the European Association of Agricultural Economists organizes a Congress, which normally follows a triennial cycle. To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Association, the next Congress will take place in Bonn (Germany) on August 26-29, 2025, just two years after the previous Congress. The event will bring together between 700 and 1000 scientists, experts, stakeholders and policy makers from all over the world to discuss the most topical and pressing issues facing the agri-food sector.

In its plenary sessions, the Bonn 2025 Congress will focus on the generally acknowledged need for food system transformation to achieve global sustainability goals. There will be an emphasis in the plenary sessions on how agricultural economics can assist the agrifood system in rising to the challenges posed by conflicting and competing interests. The contributed paper and poster sessions, as well as organized symposia, will reflect the broader activities of the community.

The Executive Committee of the EAERE Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Initiative (DEI) is glad to announce an hybrid workshop on the topic of “En-Gender Circular Bioeconomy Innovation in the EU” to be held at University of Ferrara (Santa Lucia Auditorium, via L. Ariosto 35, Ferrara, Italy) on April 9-10, 2025.

About the Workshop

The event is part of a series of workshops organised by the EAERE DEI Executive Committee in collaboration with the University of Ferrara in 2025 and 2026.

This workshop invites scholars, researchers and young researchers to explore the crucial interconnections between bioenergy, eco-innovation, and gender dimensions within the framework of
the European Green Deal and the green transition. As Europe intensifies its efforts to achieve climate neutrality, bioenergy emerges as a key component in decarbonising energy systems, promoting rural development, and supporting a circular economy. This workshop aims to examine how eco-innovations in bioenergy—ranging from advanced biofuels to sustainable biomass production—can advance these objectives while addressing socio-economic, environmental, and gender equity challenges.

Through interdisciplinary discussions, the workshop seeks to identify policy recommendations and strategies to enhance the integration of bioenergy into Europe’s green economy, ensuring that the energy transition benefits all.

Keynote Lectures

The Keynote lectures will be given by Professor Sevilla Almudena, LSE Department of Social Policy, and Professor Pelin Demirel, Imperial College London.
