Session Abstract
Life Cycle Assessment, Eco-design, and Material Criticality are methodologies and concepts that have become essential in the context of the ongoing environmental transition. However, the presence of courses covering these topics in higher education curricula (universities, technical institutes, grandes écoles, etc.) remains uneven and relatively recent. As a result, there is a need for continued training for generations of students now in the workforce who have not had the opportunity to study these subjects during their education. This session invites contributions on various sub-themes, including:
1. Overview of LCA, eco-design, and criticality education (at an institution, regional, or national level)
2. Sharing experiences on innovative teaching methods
3. Insights on the implementation of training programmes within companies or through professional training associations
4. Reflections on future training needs in response to current challenges (such as the rise of AI, environmental communication, and eco-design)
