BioFairNEt

Bioeconomy and Circular Economy Fair Network

A fair and accessible network for reducing greenhouse gas activities with circular and bio- economy models.

13 partners

joining forces to drive the sustainable transition of agriculture and mining, the two greenhouse gas-intensive sectors targeted by the BIOFAIRNET project, through digital collaboration and bio-circular innovation

The BIOFAIRNET project is paving the way for a sustainable and fair bio-circular economy across Europe and beyond. By focusing on the agriculture and mining sectors, it promotes the co-creation and testing of innovative solutions through a digitally cooperative network. With a strong emphasis on circularity, stakeholder engagement, and systemic transformation, BIOFAIRNET empowers a more resilient, low-carbon industrial future.

What’s happening

Shaping the Green Information Factory: BioFairNet partners meet in Speinshart

From 14 to 17 July 2026, BioFairNet partners gathered in Speinshart, Germany, for a dedicated modelling retreat focused on one of the project's key outcomes: the Green Information Factory. The event brought together technical experts, researchers and communication specialists to advance the development of a digital platform designed to support a fair and circular bioeconomy transition.

BioFairNet pilot featured in ScienceMe with Stergios Vakalis

The latest episode of ScienceMe features Stergios Vakalis, Assistant Professor at the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) and the University of the Aegean. During the episode, he discusses the role of energy and environmental technologies in addressing current sustainability challenges and highlights BioFairNet’s work on hydrothermal carbonisation.

From Lesvos to collaboration: BioFairNet builds synergies with ZeroPM and RIBES

BioFairNet’s participation in the ZeroPM Summer School in Lesvos created an opportunity to connect with other Horizon Europe initiatives working on pollution prevention, regional bioeconomy and safe resource use. Discussions with the ZeroPM consortium and the RIBES project highlighted shared priorities and concrete areas for collaboration.

BioFairNet at the ZeroPM Summer School: linking bioeconomy and zero-pollution goals

In June 2026, BioFairNet contributed to the ZeroPM Summer School in Mytilene, Lesvos, hosted by the Department of Environment of the University of the Aegean. The three-day event brought together researchers, students and policy-oriented actors working on persistent and mobile substances, including PFAS. It created a focused setting to connect scientific knowledge, policy development and technical solutions addressing emerging pollution challenges.
