Scientific Committee: Flaviano Celaschi - Università di Bologna, Clara Giardina - Università di Bologna, Silvia Barbero - Politecnico di Torino, Erik Ciravegna - Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile, Franco Fassio - Università di Scienze Gastronomiche di Pollenzo

How does the Packaging sector is changing? How are the buying, using and recycling habits around packaged products switching? How is the industry evolving towards sustainable packaging? What role does technology play in these changes?

Located in the heart of the Packaging Valley, with this Symposium the

Advanced Design Unit of the Department of Architecture - University of Bolognawants to map current practices and possiblefutures, well known paths but also emerging, transversal and relevant issues, in response to the legislative guidelines and ecosystem changes taking place globally.

During the day the results of an in-depthresearchon packaging innovations at a global level and thedriversthat are pushing this sector into the future, will be presented to the scientific and economic community. In addition, there will be the opportunity to listen torelevant international guest cases, and to know what they have done and what they are going to do in order to change the world of packaging. Furthermore, space will also be given to the excellences of the Emilia Romagna Region,the European packaging Valley.

At the time we elaborated300 case studiesfrom over50 national and international Detectors: new materials, circular processes, the growing role of automation and robotic, new ways to use digitisation, the e-commerce revolution, new consumer awareness, are some examples of what we are dealing with.

The Symposium will be the opportunity to launch the establishment of aPermanent Observatory on Innovative and Sustainable Packagingbased at the University of Bologna, which is essential to accelerate the processes of innovation, the dissemination of knowledge, and to consolidate the network.
