The core of the course addresses the modelling of product systems and larger production-consumption networks. For the inventory modelling, it includes recent advances related to the adaptation of input-output techniques and data, allocation issues, attributional and consequential LCA, and the treatment of recycling. The impact assessment covers new insights in impact category and damage-oriented approaches. Starting with general cause-effect chain modelling, at least one impact category, i.e. ecotoxicity, is investigated in depth. The importance of spatial differentiation in a number of impact categories is discussed by using the spatially differentiated, global impact assessment method LC-IMPACT as an example. Dealing with different types of uncertainties in LCA modelling and performing an uncertainty assessment is part of the course. The final day will be dedicated to new developments.

This course makes use of a wide variety of instruction media: lectures, self-study using course literature, theBrightspace website and background literature, and last but not least, group exercises with PowerPoint and
excel. Different people have different preferences and abilities, and by offering many forms for transferring
knowledge we hope to address as many students as possible. An active participation is required. Failing to
do so will result in exclusion from the course. Students are enc
