Measuring What Matters: BioFairNet’s First Transferability Webinar at Bioeconomy Day 2026

On 28 May 2026, as part of the eighth edition of the National Bioeconomy Day promoted by the SPRING Italian Circular Bioeconomy Cluster with Assobiotec-Federchimica, BioFairNet ran an online workshop titled “Assessing sustainability in emerging bio-based value chains.” Held from 10:00 to 12:00 CET, the session was delivered by project partners UNITELMA Sapienza and the University of Ferrara. It centred on Environmental and Social Life Cycle Assessment (LCA and S-LCA), showing how these methods quantify environmental and social impacts, expose trade-offs, and identify where bio-based systems can realistically be improved across value chains and regional contexts.

BioFairNet Contributes to the “Renaissance in Economics” International Conference

On 14–15 May 2026, the BioFairNet project took part in the “Renaissance in Economics” International Conference, held in Rome. The event focused on how economic thinking can respond to today’s global challenges, including climate transition and social inequalities.
