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.
On 18 May 2026, the Gellért Campus of Corvinus University of Budapest hosted “Redefining Fashion: Leading the Transition to a Sustainable Future”: a half-day seminar co-organised by the Bioeconomy in Transition Research Group (BiT-RG) at UnitelmaSapienza, the Corvinus Institute for Advanced Studies (CIAS), and the Gellért Green project. Francesca Fieri, researcher at BioFairNet partner UnitelmaSapienza, was there and she brought BioFairNet with her.
This December, researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and industry partners working on circular economy, bioeconomy, and sustainable transition will gather at the University of Ferrara for three days of scientific exchange, practical workshops, and community-building.
The Biofairnet project will take part in Bioeconomy Day 2026 through a dedicated online workshop organised by project partner UNITELMA Sapienza. The webinar, “Assessing sustainability in emerging bio-based value chains,” will explore how Environmental and Social Life Cycle Assessment (LCA and S-LCA) methodologies can be applied to evaluate the sustainability of innovative bio-based systems.
The Biofairnet project was present at the 9th Environmental Conference of Macedonia (EcoMacedonia 2025). Project partner CERTH (Centre for Research and Technology Hellas) represented the project and contributed to the scientific programme through a poster presentation delivered by researcher Lefteris Melas. The event brought together researchers, policymakers, industry stakeholders, and environmental experts to discuss pressing challenges and innovative solutions in sustainability and environmental management.
BioFairNet will be present at the upcoming “Renaissance in Economics” International Conference, taking place in Rome on 14–15 May 2026. The event brings together leading economists, researchers, and policymakers to reflect on how economic thinking can respond to today’s global challenges, from climate transition to social inequalities.
