The Bioladies network was originally created to provide women working in the bioeconomy with opportunities to:
- interact with each other
- share knowledge and professional contacts
- provide and receive mentoring and other support and development advice
Although empowering women in the bioeconomy is still our primary goal, we have now evolved into an inclusive and safe space for all. Therefore, anyone from all sectors of the bioeconomy is welcome to join the network. We have members from academia, R&D, policy information, outreach, consultancy, and various industries including construction, agriculture, food, packaging, biopesticides. Through sharing views we gain a holistic view across all sectors of the bioeconomy, bring about the transfer of knowledge and identify opportunities
βThe Bioladies Network offers women working in the bioeconomy a valuable forum not only to expand professional contacts, but also an environment to foster peer support and informal mentoring. This network is unique in that it aims to support women, in the UK, EU and internationally, in an emerging area of the economy that is still considered niche, despite the potential. Women from diverse sectors are welcome to join the network. Professionals from academia, public sector, NGOs, R&D, outreach and consultancy are amongst those who are members. Industries represented include agriculture, food, construction, packaging and biopesticides. β
