Last month, the joint online workshop “Toward Advanced Bio-Based Composites for a Sustainable Industry”, organised within the THERMOFIRE CBE-JU project, brought together experts from five EU projects to exchange views on standardization and regulatory challenges affecting the uptake of bio-based and advanced sustainable composite materials in Europe.
🤝 As a proud partner of THERMOFIRE, MNLT Innovations contributed to the roundtable discussion and moderated the interactive workshop session, focusing on key standardization gaps, priorities and next steps to support the deployment of safe and sustainable composite materials in European industry.
🎤 The workshop featured distinguished speakers representing each participating EU project:
• THERMOFIRE CBE-JU: Dr. Elvira Villaro Ábalos (Avanzare Innovación Tecnológica), Dr. Vasiliki Alexiou (MNLT Innovations PC)
• AlChemiSSts: Dr. Carlos Fito, Dr. María Rivero García, PhD (ITENE)
• BIO-UPTAKE: Dr. Elena Gayo Moncó (UNE – Asociación Española de Normalización), Mr. Robbe De Bisschop (Centexbel), Dr. Cátia Venâncio (Universidade de Aveiro)
• BIOntier: Ms. Tatjana Karpenja, Dr. Mohammad Yusuf M. (RISE Research Institutes of Sweden)
• FURIOUS project: Dr. Debora Puglia (Università degli Studi di Perugia)
🙏 We warmly thank all partners, speakers and participants for the constructive dialogue!
