Centre for Circular Bioeconomy comprises eight primary research areas.

Each research area participates in one or more research groups that carry out research relevant to the area. Co-operation between the groups is coordinated by researchers with interdisciplinary expertise in the field. These are also taken into account in the Centre's management group.

Below is a brief description of the seven research areas, an overview of the participating researchers and research groups as well as a brief description of the special facilities associated with the area.
