Inventory modelling at scale using Sentier.dev Autumn School October 2024

Oct. 6-11, Grosshöchstetten, Switzerland. This Autumn School will explore alternative models for inventory creation, deployment, validation, and quality assurance, building on the Sentier.dev platform for scaling industrial ecology. In a break from previous DdS schools, the focus will not be on Brightway and friends, but on a new tool ecosystem to be developed in 2024 focused on data exchange and compatibility, reconciliation of conflicting observations, automatic validation, and user-friendly reporting and interpretation tools. Participants in previous DdS schools are welcome to apply for this school as well. See https://www.d-d-s.ch/schools/oct-24/index.html for a complete description of the course and its contents.
