Bioeconomy Monitoring Framework
A prototype bioeconomy monitoring dashboard will be constructed to share data collected for measuring and analysing different aspects of Ireland’s bioeconomy. Building on previous EU work (EU Bioeconomy Monitoring System) and similar efforts, this prototype will support the monitoring and assessment of Ireland’s bioeconomy.
The construction of the monitoring system will consist of four principal tasks
- Identifying suitable indicators to assess the Irish bioeconomy in a meaningful way.
- Scoping of the available data from the different sectors of the bioeconomy and assigning them to these indicators (mapping).
- Analysing gaps in the data.
- The construction of the monitoring system including the front-end user interface.
The suitable indicators will be identified by reviewing existing systems, and by developing a Thematic Network of Irish and potentially international stakeholders to support the design of a Bioeconomy Monitoring Framework. Knowledge exchange workshops will provide insights regarding the system design and relevant data sources, but also, to review progress and provide feedback on prototype system and dashboard. This Thematic Network will include members of the JRC and partners from the BioMonitor project, CSO and Teagasc Farm Survey team, who will support the design of a bioeconomy monitoring framework for Ireland.
It is currently envisaged that the dashboard will be developed in an ArcGIS Hub environment, a community-engagement platform, developed by ESRI Inc, which can manage both queryable data visualization, as well as specific spatial data. This is particularly relevant as geographical aspects are expected to play an important role in monitoring the Irish bioeconomy.
Developing such a national framework, along with a prototype monitoring system and dashboard, will place Ireland at the forefront of bioeconomy monitoring across EU member states and ensure that the government and public can track the bioeconomy progress towards environmental, societal and economic sustainability. This prototype will provide a user interface for public presentation based on the developed prototype monitoring framework.
