The Team
Carmen Giron Dominguez

Carmen Giron Dominguez is a researcher and project coordinator of BBioNets, a Horizon Europe project awarded in November 2023, which will create a Bio-based Technologies Thematic Network in six countries, Ireland, Spain, Greece, Italy, Poland and the Czech Republic, to promote and advance the management and processing of agricultural and forest biomass with bio-based technologies and solutions. The project builds on, promotes and further develops the work carried out by the EIP-AGRI Operational Groups in the project’s thematic areas.
Previously, Carmen worked for two years as a researcher and project manager in the field of sustainable biomass supply chain and logistics for the INFORMBIO project.

In addition, Carmen previously worked at Technological Corporation of Andalusia (CTA), before joining the CIRCBIO research group in 2022, where she worked for almost 4 years on European bioeconomy R&D projects (H2020, BBI-JU and ATLANTICO) such as URBIOFUTURE and BIO4AFRICA. She has worked with bio-based businesses and entrepreneurs as an innovation consultant in Spain.
Carmen holds a degree in Biology, specialising in Ecology and Botany, and an MSc in Environmental Biotechnology, specialising in Circular Economy for Agriculture, Biostimulants and Biofertilisers.
