ALIGNED ECIU

ALIGNED At The ECIU University R&I Collaborative Projects Event

ALIGNED project coordinator Massimo Pizzol participated in the ECIU University R&I Collaborative Projects Event on May 22, 2024. He joined coordinators from other HE and H2020 projects across the ECIU consortium.
The event aimed to:

  •  Promote project results from various initiatives. 
  • Share the latest research findings with ECIU researchers.
  • Foster connections for potential future research proposals.

Laura Paternoster, ECIU EU Funding Advisor, hosted the online event. It began with a brief introduction to ECIU University by Ms. Paternoster. Francesca Tomasi (member of the R&I Expert Group from UniTrento) then introduced the R&I Expert Group. The event also featured a session on ECIU’s support for researchers and next steps for staying connected. It concluded with a general Q&A session and closing remarks.

 
 
ALIGNED Online Training LCA for Bio-Based Products

Online LCA Training On Bio-based Products And Coatings

The ALIGNED and LIGNICOAT Projects are offering a free online training session on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) for Bio-based Products. This session, scheduled for Tuesday, September 17th, from 09:00 to 12:30 (CEST). The workshop is designed for professionals and stakeholders with expertise in bio-based materials. It will provide a thorough introduction to LCA principles and their application in bio-based materials and coatings.

Participants will benefit from a project’s insights, practical examples, and interactive Q&A sessions. To ensure the content aligns with your interests, fill this survey and register here.

The training is structured into three segments, each featuring a theoretical overview, a practical case study, and a Q&A period. The session is particularly suited for those with a background in bio-based materials and a keen interest in LCA.

Agenda:

  • Welcome and Introduction: Michele Ponzelli (AXIA Innovation, LIGNICOAT) and Rocío Garcia (Sustainable Innovations, ALIGNED)
  • Project Overview: Aitor Barrio (TECNALIA, LIGNICOAT) and Massimo Pizzol (Aalborg University, ALIGNED)
  • Why LCA? Importance of LCA and Introduction
  • Scale-up from Lab to Industrial Scale: Theoretical Background + Practical Example + Q&A with Leo Staccioli (ARDITEC Association, LIGNICOAT)
  • Calculation Methods: Theoretical Background + Practical Example + Q&A
  • Carbon Accounting (Static/Dynamic and Biogenic-Fossil) + Q&A: Massimo Pizzol (Aalborg University, ALIGNED)
  • Wrap-up and Closing Remarks

This training is an excellent opportunity to deepen your understanding of LCA in the context of bio-based materials. We look forward to your participation!
