LCA Symposium- Application of life cycle assessment (LCA) and sustainability assessment (LCSA) in technology development – opportunities and challenges
Dear researchers!
The TU Wien LCA–platform kindly invites you to the first LCA–Symposium on
Monday, 16 June 2025 in room BF05D3 (1060 Wien, Getreidemarkt 9, Building BF, 5th floor)
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is an increasingly integral component of sustainable research. As a standardised tool, it provides a framework for evaluating the environmental impacts of products or services through comprehensive and holistic investigations. It also forms the methodological foundation for a broader sustainability assessment that adds social and economic aspects.
In order to address future challenges, it is essential to adopt an interdisciplinary approach and to facilitate cooperation between a wide range of disciplines. The TU Wien is home to a number of researchers who have accumulated extensive expertise in life cycle assessment in their respective specialised fields over years.
The LCA–Symposium offers scientists at TU Wien a space for to learn from each other, to network and to develop new projects and collaborations.
The programme will comprise a series of inspiring presentations and inputs from the various specialist areas. In addition, discussion rounds and workshops will be held.
Our aim is to promote life cycle thinking and to increase knowledge about life cycle assessment and sustainability assessment among researchers and students at TU Wien.
We cordially invite you to submit contributions by 15 May 2025.
Framework for submission and participation:
- Abstract submission (300 words) via the LCA–Symposium website: https://lca.conf.tuwien.ac.at/
- Presentation of your specific research project: content and highlights (5 min.)
The format of the presentation is at the presenter’s discretion (PowerPoint or poster). The contributions should be understandable for all relevant disciplines, as well as for other potentially interested parties. The conference will be held in English.
- It is possible to participate as a guest without contribution. Please also register in this case.
The final programme will be announced at the beginning of June.
Expected symposium output: Book of Abstracts
The LCA–Symposium is organised in cooperation with all faculties. The Symposium is a full-day event for which there is no charge for attendance. If you have any questions, please contact us at lca.symposium@tuwien.ac.at.
We are looking forward to welcoming you to the LCA–Symposium 2025!
