<h3 style="text-align: center;">Autumn School 2023: Open Approaches to Time in LCA</h3>

<p>Life cycle assessment is often partitioned along three axes: technology, space, and time. However, most LCA studies and databases have only a rudimentary incorporation of temporal aspects. In this autumn school, we will build on open source tools to systematically analyse how incorporating temporal aspects can change our results and provide better decision support.</p>
<p>In our first module on Monday, we will use <a href="https://github.com/polca/premise">Premise</a> to incorporate future scenarios into inventory data to create consistent future databases. These scenarios can be global and cover the whole economy, or focus on specific sectors or technologies. You will learn how to develop your own user scenarios, and how to efficiently analyse your future databases.</p>
<p>In our second module on Tuesday, we will use <a href="https://github.com/brightway-lca/bw_temporalis/">Temporalis</a> to add temporal distributions to individual inventory datasets, and study how such distributions can be used in LCA calculations. We will then include temporal aspects in impact assessment as well, moving from single score impact assessment results to impact timelines.</p>
<p>In addition to the main modules, there will also be shorter inputs throughout the week on other topics in open source sustainability assessment like hybridisation and sensitivity analysis.</p>
<p>From Wednesday to Friday, you will work in groups of five and apply these ideas in group projects. Each group will have a dedicated instructor. Groups will present their results on Friday afternoon.</p>
<p>This autumn school is primarily aimed at PhD and postdocs students who are studying or using life cycle assessment, but others are also welcome to apply. Students who complete the school will receive a certificate for 2 ETCS credit points. Enrolment is limited to 30 people.</p>
<p>The school is organised by <a href="https://www.d-d-s.ch/">Départ de Sentier</a>, a nonprofit association which supports open sustainability assessment and public engagement.</p>

<h5>Location</h5>
<p>The summer school will be held in the <a href="https://www.moeschberg.ch/">Möschberg</a> seminar hotel, in Grosshöchstetten, Switzerland. This hotel is outside the village, with views south towards the Bernese Alps. Möschberg emphasises local and organic food for its guests.</p>
<h5>Brightway introduction</h5>
<p>Some basic understanding of Python is necessary for the school. Brightway has an <a href="https://documentation.brightway.dev/en/latest/">training and documentation online</a>, and we also offer a half-day introduction to Brightway on the Sunday before the school starts.</p>
<h5>Starting and ending times</h5>
<p>The school starts at 10:00 on Monday and formally ends at 16:00 on Friday, though you are invited to an Apéro on Friday evening. The Sunday introductory course starts with lunch at 12:00.</p>
<h5>Language</h5>
<p>The summer school will be in English.</p>

<h5>Course overview</h5>
<p>Open source tools have dramatically increased our ability to realize the true potential of life cycle assessment. We have tools for cloud calculations, uncertainty and sensitivity assessment, parametric modelling, interfaces to external models, inclusion of spatial and temporal information, generation of new databases for scenarios and prospective LCA, hybridization of multiple databases and database modelling perspectives, and much more. In this spring school we will build on these open source foundations, including <a href="https://docs.brightway.dev/en/latest/">Brightway</a> and <a href="https://github.com/polca/premise">Premise</a>, to make our inventory models better able to answer our research questions. The instructors will be <a href="https://www.psi.ch/en/ta/people/romain-sacchi">Romain Sacchi</a> and <a href="https://chris.mutel.org/">Chris Mutel</a>, the developers of <a href="https://github.com/polca/premise">Premise</a> and <a href="https://docs.brightway.dev/en/latest/">Brightway</a>, and <a href="https://www.psi.ch/de/ta/people/michael-weinold">Michael Weinold</a>, the creator and maintainer of the <a href="https://docs.brightway.dev/">Brightway online documentation</a>.</p>
<p>The course will focus on the shift from life cycle inventories as bills of materials to product system models. We will cover the basic of Brightway, and then go into best practices for model development. We will cover both the scientific side, including correlated inputs, sensitivity analysis for parsimonious models, and multiple types of uncertainty, and best practices in software architecture, including documentation standards and tools, testing, data and source version control, linting, and quick tool builders like <a href="https://streamlit.io/">Streamlit</a> and <a href="https://dash.plotly.com/">Dash</a>. We will then apply these concepts while diving deep into Premise, and will write parameterized models to generate custom scenario data. We will also explore the use of correlated uncertainty in Premise calculations.</p>
<p>The structure of the school starts with two days of interactive teaching sessions using Jupyter Notebooks. These notebooks include exercises, and we will discuss the solutions in class. From Wednesday to Friday, you will work in groups of around five people and apply these ideas in group projects. Each group will have a dedicated assistant. Groups will present their results on Friday afternoon.</p>
<p>This autumn school is primarily aimed at PhD and postdocs students who are studying or using life cycle assessment, but others are also welcome to apply. Students who complete the school will receive a certificate for 2 ETCS credit points. Enrolment is limited to 25 people.</p>
<p>The school is organised by <a href="https://www.d-d-s.ch/">Départ de Sentier</a>, a Swiss nonprofit association which supports open sustainability assessment and public engagement, with support from the <a href="https://ciraig.org/">CIRAIG</a>.</p>

<h5>Brightway introduction</h5>
<p>Some basic understanding of Python is necessary for the school. Brightway has an <a href="https://documentation.brightway.dev/en/latest/">training and documentation online</a>, and we will offer a half-day online introduction to Brightway for course participants before the school starts.</p>
<h5>Starting and ending times</h5>
<p>The school sessions start at 9:00 on Monday and ends at 16:00 on Friday. We will offer a small reception for students on Friday evening.</p>
<h5>Language</h5>
<p>The summer school will be in English. The will be French-speaking instructors for groups who prefer French.</p>
