Workshop on implementing sustainability measures at the core of the R&D process for materials-based innovation: In this workshop, we will work on one of the aspects of design preserving Nature. The idea is to think about the impact of raw material use for the designs and developments of new products and frontier materials-based innovations. We will highlight the challenges to well assess the limits of resources/raw materials we would like to use in our development of new product frontier materials based.
