The conference focused on concrete approaches to staying within the planetary boundaries and advancing the goal of absolute sustainability as a global community across academia, industry and policy – represented by over 220 participants from 27 countries.
🔍 Highlights included impressive keynote talks by
@Katherine Richardson, @Serenella Sala, @Daniela Pigosso, @Cecilie Friis, @Sami Kara and @Christoph Herrmann, covering topics such as planetary boundaries, rebound effects, engineering ethics and societal responsibility.
We from the Institute of Product Development and Engineering Design contributed to the scientific exchange with three research posters in the field of Design for Sustainability, together with @Roland Lachmayer:
🟢 @Daniel Rosemann – Life Cycle Costing
“Combining analogue and parametric models for Life Cycle Cost estimation in product-service systems”
🟢 @Jorin Thelemann – Sustainable Product Development in Engineering Education
“Examining the intuitive application of EcoDesign principles in engineering education”
🟢 @Johanna Wurst – Eco-efficiency Assessment
“Evaluation of eco-efficiency in manufacturing organizations”
We return with valuable new perspectives and ideas, look forward to a continuation of this conference series, and remain committed to advancing absolute sustainability in research, education and industrial practice.
