Pica Code IR-2026-109 Development of Advanced Life Cycle Assessment and Life Cycle Costing Models and Tools for the Environmental Characterization of Products, Processes, Services or Organizations

The research activity will focus on the development of integrated Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Life Cycle Costing (LCC) models and tools to support decision-making for products, processes, services or organizations. It will address the definition and integration of environmental and economic variables, parameters, indicators, and life cycle inventories. Models will be developed for hotspot identification, trade-off assessment, and comparison of alternative life cycle scenarios, including sensitivity and uncertainty analyses. The resulting tools will support improvement strategies, management decisions, and environmental and economic performance assessment and reporting.
