In November 2024 we officially launched the Polimi LCA Network with a conference to set the initiative in motion. It was an opportunity to meet and discuss topics and issues, generating ideas and content. The Polimi LCA Network’s progress then continued with the creation, in early 2025, of six Working Groups (WGs) aligned with the reasons for creating the Network, and with its objectives. They will lead the implementation of initiatives to promote, train and disseminate the LCA methodology, always in line with the Network's mission:
Course: “Advanced Models and Methods for LCA”
A new course - "Advanced Models and Methods for LCA" - for PhD programmes in Environmental and Infrastructure Engineering (IAT) and in STEP-Change of the Politecnico di Milano.
The course is coordinated by Prof. L. Rigamonti, and includes Prof. F. Biondini, PhD G. Dolci, Prof. M.V. Rocco, PhD J. Famiglietti and PhD J. Babí Almenar.
The course will offer an in-depth analysis of advanced LCA methodologies, focusing on key and controversial topics such as:
- modelling of recycled material content in products and waste recycling processes;
- analysis of uncertainty and time-dependent factors in the LCA;
- computational structure of Input-Output Analysis;
- difference between attributional and consequential modelling.
The course is open to all PhD Candidates from Politecnico di Milano, and also to external PhD Candidates and non-PhD Candidates (for PhD training provided by Politecnico di Milano to external candidates, please refer to the following link).
More information on the course is available at: http://bit.ly/4npvdeC
The course will be held in English.
