4th Interdisciplinary PhD expert course for young researchers:
Sustainability Assessments for the Low-Carbon Economy
16th to 18th October 2024 | Hasselt University, City Campus
The PhD expert course is a three-day event with a welcome, followed by methodological introduction sessions, and paper presentation sessions with discussants from the pool of participants and senior researchers providing feedback to ensure active participation and learning.
DESCRIPTION:
The EU has established a roadmap for transitioning to a low-carbon economy, which includes (i) advancing clean technologies and low-carbon energy, (ii) reducing resource consumption, (iii) enhancing energy security, and (iv) improving public health. As a result, there is a significant need for methods that evaluate the environmental, economic, and societal impacts of actions taken at both industrial and policy levels. To address this need, Hasselt University, with support from KU Leuven, the University of Antwerp, EURECA-PRO are jointly organizing the interdisciplinary PhD expert course on the state-of-the-art sustainability assessment tools: Techno-Economic Assessment (TEA), Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), and Real Options analysis (ROA).
