Biofairnet - K-Day at the University of Bayreuth

BioFairNet at the 26th Bayreuther 3D-Konstrukteurstag 2025

With around 190 participants, this year’s K-Day at the University of Bayreuth was a great success. On the 17th of September 2025, the Chair of Engineering Design and CAD at the University of Bayreuth once again welcomed numerous guests from industry, research and academia.

Talks, live demonstrations and discussions once again highlighted the diversity of current developments in design, simulation and manufacturing. This year, topics relating to model-based product development and digital twins were particularly well represented, as were approaches to additive manufacturing, optimization and sustainability assessment. Here, at the intersection with traditional engineering disciplines, that the BioFairNet project joined the chair’s sustainability and digitalisation projects, represented by Dr.-Ing. Tobias Rosnitschek and Dipl.-Ing. Kilian Nölscher. In the middle of the exhibition with numerous partners, the two colleagues took the opportunity to explain the BioFairNet project and the associated vision to interested visitors, exchange ideas on current developments and trends, and make new contacts.

On 25 June (11:00–11:45 CET), BioFairNet invites stakeholders to join a dynamic hybrid event exploring how bioeconomy and circular approaches can drive Europe’s sustainable transition.
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.
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.
