Sustainability (MDPI)
June 2018 – to date
This section strongly encourages an interdisciplinary approach that captures the real meaning of sustainability: overcoming a selfish vision by thinking of the whole society, of future generations. Economic growth can occur by consuming and producing what is actually needed while respecting ecosystems. This sustainable transition requires the adoption of appropriate policies, to stimulate citizens to behave responsibly, to push companies to produce cleanly, and a special role is played by future generations, who can be the green-powered locomotive of this change. Thematically, “Bioeconomy of Sustainability” includes:
-
assessment of circular premium of bio-based products/processes;
-
assessment of green premium of bio-based products/processes;
-
assessment of the role of certification and eco-labels associated to the bio-based products;
-
changes and opportunities in the circular bioeconomy
-
definition of products/processes within the bioeconomy;
-
development of bioeconomy/circular bioeconomy in emerging economies;
-
economic life cycle analysis of bio-based products/processes;
-
environmental life cycle analysis of bio-based products/processes;
-
identification of new indicators in the bioeconomy sectors;
-
identification of sustainable policies suitable to favour the development of bioeconomy/circular bioeconomy;
-
industrial symbiosis within circular bioeconomy;
-
new technological applications in the bioeconomy sectors;
-
social life cycle analysis of bio-based products/processes;
-
nexus among technological and sustainable aspects of bioeconomy within public/private facilities.

Journal of Sustainable Architecture and Civil Engineering (KTU)
2017 – to date
The Journal of Sustainable Architecture and Civil Engineering aims to promote and support scientific researchers in sharing their experimental and theoretical findings related to sustainability. This encompasses a wide range of topics, such as climate change, clean energy, sustainable consumption and production, sustainable transportation, conservation and management of natural resources, public health, social inclusion, cultural diversity, and identity, among others. We are particularly interested in contributions within the fields of civil engineering and architecture.
