Motivation

Over the past years, openLCA has been developed further and further, as a stand-alone tool but also as a solution for other sustainability tools and add-ons. Other surrounding tools, like the LCA Collaboration Server, have helped collaboration between LCA practitioners but have also allowed for the work and publication of databases such as the LCA Commons by the USDA. At the same time, thanks to its low acquisition barrier and available resources, many people across the world have used openLCA for LCA studies, projects and research.

We would like to bring all of these faces of openLCA together in the openLCA.conf, a conference for openLCA users, where we can all learn from what others have been doing, and where we as openLCA developers will share insights about next steps.
