This workshop is organized by FHNW School of Life Sciences in cooperation with Life Sciences Cluster Basel - eine Initiative der Handelskammer beider Basel and BaselCircular.
Incorporating green chemistry and fostering the development of new technologies into the transition of the life sciences industry is essential to achieve sustainable innovation while reducing environmental impact. A circular economy approach can further enhance sustainability by designing products and processes that minimize waste, enable resource recovery, and promote reuse throughout the lifecycle of products. Green chemistry principles can be integrated with circular economy strategies across the entire lifecycle—from discovery and development to manufacturing, use, and disposal—ensuring that materials and resources remain in use for as long as possible. By aligning innovation with these principles, the life sciences industry can move towards a regenerative model that supports both economic and environmental goals.
This interactive workshop will provide a comprehensive overview of the transition of the European chemical industry toward circular and biobased alternatives, with a special focus on network building and project funding opportunities between academia, politics, and industry.
