The 15th Life Cycle Engineering Conference LCE 2008 continues a long tradition of scientific meetings under the aegis of the International Academy for Production Engineering CIRP. For many years extensive research in life cycle assessment, product development and sustainable manufacturing has produced a vast pool of knowledge, the application of which is still hampered by reluctant implementation of serious environmental strategies in practice. A recent boost in global environmental awareness now offers a unique opportunity to further the application of existing knowledge and accelerate developments towards more sustainable engineering solutions for future industrial products.

The LCE 2008 will be hosted jointly by the Life Cycle Engineering and Management Research Group at the University of New South Wales and the Institution of Engineers Australia. The conference will take place on the university’s campus in Sydney, which is home of the largest engineering faculty in the country, well known for its research on life cycle issues as well as solar and renewable energies. We are sure the conference will offer you an international platform for the exchange of ideas in a relaxed autumn environment in Sydney.
