The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015, provides a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future. At its heart are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are an urgent call for action by all countries - developed and developing - in a global partnership. They recognize that ending poverty and other deprivations must go hand-in-hand with strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth – all while tackling climate change and working to preserve our oceans and forests.

Circular making, the makers movement’s role in the circular economy
The transition towards a more circular economy is one of the most ambitious and important objectives at the European level.
While some actors – such as policy makers or big companies, might have a clear set of objectives and possible strategies to reach them, the maker’s movement role is not equally explored. This masterclass shows the possible strategies that fablabs, makerspaces, and local groups of innovators can deploy to be a catalyst of positive change. Together we will explore best practices and examples of projects developed in OpenDot during the last five years.

SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES
BIO MATERIALS
A biomaterial or a bio-based material is a substance which is, or has been part of a larger, more complex biological system. The material interacts with other elements and plays a role within this system. Currently, biomaterials are mostly known to be used in the medical sector. For example, biomaterials (or synthetic materials) can be implanted into the body to replace a lost function.
