Cooperation of young researchers from science and industry - life cycle assessment in theory and practice

This preface introduces the contributions from young scientists and researchers participating in the 15th Ökobilanzwerkstatt in Stuttgart. It provides an overview of the growing relevance of establishing environmental aspects as a guideline in science, industry and politics. This results in an increased need to anchor life cycle assessments in the training of young scientists. Afterwards, the highlights of the Ökobilanzwerkstatt 2019 are presented and the topics of the publication in this book are introduced.
