Workshops

Sustain DTU Workshops:

1. What is the sustainability of your project? 
2. Kick-start Your next Post Doc Funding Application.
3. Water DTU.
4. Fundraisers Lounge.

• What is the sustainability of your project?
• Time 15.30-17.00. Meeting center room S12. Max 34 persons.
• This workshop will introduce you to the different aspects and methods of assessing the overall impact of a technology and documenting 'how green it is'. This will help guiding and optimizing your research towards documented sustainable solutions.
  After a brief introduction to the fundamental principles of life cycle assessment (LCA) as a tool to assess environmental sustainability we will look more into the details of concrete projects and help identify the environmental hot spots and the main environmental improvement possibilities for your technology or project, looking across its whole life cycle from the cradle (raw material extraction) to the grave (end of life and potential new life in other products), and addressing all the relevant environmental impacts.
  We have a limited number of LCA experts available so register quickly to have a discussion of your case during the workshop.
