Abstract
The EU has committed under the EU Green Deal to become the first carbon-neutral continent by 2050 by introducing innovation and relevant education. In the light of this goal, this 3-year EIT project aims to establish a four-level Pan-European PhD winter/summer school program. The program will focus on Life Cycle Assessment/Costing (LCA/LCC) and new business development, which are in high demand from EU industry partners. This program will prepare the talents with innovative solutions/ideas to apply for entrepreneurship funding in other EIT activities (e.g. Jumpstarter), and provide the necessary skills and knowledge in LCA/LCC and new business development. Our goal is to support the EU's efforts to achieve its carbon-neutrality objective by enabling the next generation of green entrepreneurs to develop sustainable business practices. The uniqueness of the course lies with one of the biggest challenges for the industry and those who perform the LCA/LCC analysis, which is the lack of understanding of a common “language”, methodologies and what information is required from the industry to perform proper LCA/LCC analysis to support the green transition. Industrial partners and start-ups will provide real-life LCA/LCC case studies for the purpose of the course, which will enable student to create feasible solutions and support networking and match-making opportunities.
