Looking into high education programmes across European countries reveals that training in building with bio-composites is still not sufficiently developed; teachers and students lack competence as well as knowledge and skills. Bio-composites are often neglected in civil engineering, architecture and other construction-related programmes. This gap in education and skills was the driving force behind the Erasmus + project BIO-FIBRE – Sustainable construction with bio-composite materials. Here, the project is presented, namely: the development of a methodological framework based on innovative student-centred learning approaches and improved pedagogical competence among teachers; the development of a new course contributing to increasing the use of bio-composites by educating students in sustainable construction practices with these materials; a strategy to ensure open awareness of the project’s results at the local, national, EU and transnational levels, promoting sustainable construction in higher education.

Abstract
Looking into high education programmes across European countries reveals that training in building with bio-composites is still not sufficiently developed; teachers and students lack competence as well as knowledge and skills. Bio-composites are often neglected in civil engineering, architecture and other construction-related programmes. This gap in education and skills was the driving force behind the Erasmus + project BIO-FIBRE – Sustainable construction with bio-composite materials. Here, the project is presented, namely: the development of a methodological framework based on innovative student-centred learning approaches and improved pedagogical competence among teachers; the development of a new course contributing to increasing the use of bio-composites by educating students in sustainable construction practices with these materials; a strategy to ensure open awareness of the project’s results at the local, national, EU and transnational levels, promoting sustainable construction in higher education.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
