The Manager of the Living+ Platform, Aija Staffans, opened the event by introducing the main objectives and purpose of the platform. During the lunch that followed, three guiding questions encouraged the participants to approach the theme of human-centered living environments from several perspectives.

Wrapping up the discussions revealed that human-centered living environments are considered to be a highly interesting and acute research area in several schools at Aalto. Inviting researchers to similar events was considered to remain important also in the future.

A Flexible Biorefinery using Machine Learning

Biorefineries convert biomass, such as wood, annual plants or agricultural into products and energy. Research teams in Finland and Germany aim to maximize such product output for a more holistic valorization of our natural resources. The development of these new processes is often slow because they require optimization of many factors. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) can help us accelerate such a development drastically.
