title = "Bio-Fibre Project: An Educational Framework to Promote the Use of Bio-Based Building Products",
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{\textquoteright}s results at the local, national, EU and transnational levels, promoting sustainable construction in higher education.",
