Berlin, GermanyThe open openLCA LCA Conference
After a sold-out first edition, we would like to give a warm welcome to openLCA.conf 2025, taking place in Berlin from the 10–11 April 2025. Doubling our event capacity from last year, we’re excited to bring together experts from across the field for two days of lectures, workshops and discussions on LCA research and practice.
Since its creation in 2007, openLCA has grown to become one of the most widely used LCA softwares both in its own right, and also as part of an interconnected family of LCA tools.
