Autumn School 2025: Open Science to Link MFA and LCA
Research in life cycle assessment (LCA) and material flow analysis (MFA) has exploded in the last ten years, and the power, flexibility, and availability of open source tools and data has as well. In this course, we will couple ODYM and Brightway, and see how the combination can both inspire and improve the methods and results of MFA and LCA. We will also learn about open source development and publication.
