Abstract
The European Commission (EC) launched the New European Bauhaus initiative to improve the well-being and health of citizens and
future generations. The initiative is an environmental, economic, and cultural project aiming to combine design, sustainability,
accessibility, affordability, and investment with helping deliver the European Green Deal. It aims at sustainable solutions that create a
dialogue between our built environment and the planet's ecosystems. CSTO2NE aims to provide the European community with
innovative solutions for recycling and valorising biowaste (biomass) and industrial waste into new eco-engineered materials through
industrial symbiosis waste co-utilisation, mineral carbonation, and biomimicry approach; namely, nature-inspired solutions and
technologies for improving carbon uptake and waste incorporation and design eco-engineered materials and, transference of the
emergent technologies through eco-innovation business models. In this context, CSTO2NE intends to (1) promote international and
inter-disciplinary collaboration through research and innovation staff exchanges, leading to extended networks and opportunities; (2)
Enhanced networking and communication capacities with scientific peers, as well as with the general public that will increase the
project's impact, (3) foster a shared culture of open access research an co-creation, that welcomes and rewards creativity and
entrepreneurship, inspired by the New European Bauhaus concept, fostering ideas into innovative prototypes and technologies for
the eco-materials circular economy
