Summer School

INSA Contributes to Sustainable Hospitals Research at Bologna Summer School

Damien Arbault from INSA, partner in the ALIGNED project, delivered two presentations at the 3rd Summer School of GREEN-MAP project on Materials Life Cycle Assessment for Sustainable Hospitals. The event organized by Ecoinnavazione and University of Bologna, took place last June 26-28, at Bologna, Italy, and brought together early-stage researchers and experienced scientists.

In the first presentation, ‘Consequential Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of Bio-based Production of a Platform Organic Compound,’ Arbault explored the environmental impacts of producing bio-based materials, focusing on how these processes can be optimized for sustainability.

The second presentation, titled ‘Carbon Footprint: Recent Advances and Issues,’ delved into the latest developments and challenges in measuring and reducing the carbon footprint, particularly within the context of healthcare facilities. 

Damien was one of the 30 participants to the 3rd Summer School were discussing different aspects of Life Cycle thinking methodologies and biocompatible material systems, innovative biobased materials and design for improving sustainability. The topics have been covered by 15 lectures and 8 posters presented during two thematic sessions and one poster session.
