Key facts

Research of existing databases for specific industries (open source and licensed)
Analysis of different modeling approaches in selected life cycle assessment databases
Definition and derivation of consistency criteria for modeling approaches
Analysis of the effects of different modeling approaches
Development of a structured concept for harmonization
Harmonization of selected datasets and quantification of the effects of methodological differences
Derivation of possible recommendations for action for harmonization of databases

Enrollment in the field of Environmental Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a comparable discipline
Enthusiasm for sustainability assessment
Knowledge of life cycle assessment methodology (LCA according to DIN ISO 14040) and databases or willingness to quickly and largely independently familiarize yourself
You distinguish yourself during the preparation of the student work through flexibility, reliability, communication skills, and motivation, and work independently, disciplined, and conscientiously on the questions.
