Topic 6 – Innovative approaches for analysing raw materials value chains
We are looking to join RAMP consortia as a partner and can lead or co-lead work packages on value-chain analysis and sustainability assessment. We contribute:
- dynamic material flow analysis and system dynamics models to map stocks, flows, feedback loops and rebound effects along raw-material value chains
- prospective (time-dependent) environmental LCA and social LCA of circular strategies
- scenario analysis to support policy and business decisions
- transdisciplinary stakeholder co-creation
We have experience in reuse and recycling of photovoltaic panels and collaborate with industry partners in renewable energy, precision engineering, medical technology and construction. We are open to consortia that passed Stage 1 of the 2026 call and to future RAMP calls.
BFH is Switzerland's largest university of applied sciences. Our group in Industrial Engineering and Management works on circular economy and environmental assessment for technical and biological cycles, combining LCA, MFA and system dynamics with applied industry projects. We have European project experience in circular photovoltaics.
