About Workshop
AI-Powered Life Cycle Assessment Dashboards is an interdisciplinary international workshop that combines environmental sustainability, data science, and machine learning to create intelligent dashboards for life cycle-based analysis.
Participants will learn the fundamentals of LCA methodology, explore environmental impact datasets (ecoinvent, OpenLCA), and build dashboards powered by AI/ML models to automate material flow assessments, carbon footprint predictions, waste mapping, and more. Using tools such as Python, Streamlit, Power BI, Tableau, and scikit-learn, the workshop provides a hands-on experience in creating responsive, scalable, and actionable LCA visualizations.
Aim
To equip participants with the technical and analytical skills needed to design and deploy AI-enhanced Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) dashboards, enabling data-driven sustainability insights across product systems, industrial processes, and environmental management.
What Participants Will Learn
- Bridge sustainability science and intelligent analytics
- Train participants to build digital decision-making tools for green innovation
- Enable prediction and visualization of environmental impact across a product’s lifecycle
- Promote data transparency and traceability in sustainability reporting
- Inspire innovation in smart tools for circular economy planning
