On December 11th and 12th, we kicked off the BIOSAFIRE project with two dynamic days of collaboration and innovation!
On Day 1, all 22 international partners from Spain, Poland, Finland, Italy, Netherlands, Switzerland, France, Germany, Sweden, Cyprus, Belgium, and Turkey shared their initial activities and vision for BIOSAFIRE. It was inspiring to see such a diverse and skilled group united in a common goal.
Day 2 was dedicated to operational planning, as the BIOSAFIRE project partners set up working groups and outlined the next critical steps.
What is BIOSAFIRE all about?
BIOSAFIRE will develop and upscale innovative products upgrading nature’s best fire retardants (FRs): lignins and tannins. To ensure that these novel products are safe and sustainable, while retaining their desired technological functionality, they will be thoroughly assessed by applying the SSbD framework at different stages of their development and the results will be iteratively fed into the further design and optimisation of the technologies. Involving the full material value chain, these flame retardants will be upscaled to TRL7 and demonstrated in five different applications.
Excited for the journey ahead and the positive impact we’ll create together!
