The LIFE Be-WoodEN project aims to promote the decarbonisation of buildings and improve circularity in the building sector overcoming barriers that prevent the widespread use of wood and bio-based materials. The project will focus on a very diverse target of users with an approach geared towards increasing knowledge and skills, testing innovative training methodologies, also of a demonstrative nature. A special focus will be on social housing, matching the need of elderly and fragile people. The ambition is to prepare professional figures corresponding to market needs and to overcome the fragmentation of the local supply chain, valorizing environmental benefits due to the adoption of wood and bio-based materials in the construction.
