The Department of Innovative Technologies (DTI) of our project partner SUPSI, one of the nine professional universities recognized by the Swiss Confederation, carries out undergraduate and graduate studies and continuing education, research and technology transfer in Engineering in the fields of industrial production, electronics, information technology, AI, mechanics and medical technology.
SUPSI’s Role in CIRC-UITS:
SUPSI is leading Work Package 3, focusing on defining and implementing sustainability and circularity assessment methodologies.
The objectives include:
– developing methods for assessing sustainability impacts
– creating a data science-based sustainability advisory framework
– mapping practices within selected value chains.
With the help of MARAS and OFFIS, SUPSI is responsible for defining methodologies that integrate sustainability and circularity performance assessments, enabling non-experts to evaluate the impacts of their decisions.
Additionally, SUPSI and OFFIS are developing advisory models and software tools to help decision-makers measure and interpret sustainability and circularity impacts throughout the product lifecycle, ensuring effective implementation and optimization within the CIRC-UITS pilots.
