Go to Life-Cycle Analysis for Transportation Symposium event
 

Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) is excited to announce its first annual Life-Cycle Analysis for Transportation Symposium. The goal of this symposium is to showcase various academic, industry, and institutional research efforts on life-cycle analysis topics. We hope to highlight the various assumptions and conclusions being used to shape the future of our industry. With a focus on policy, this symposium is ideally placed to help guide future rulemaking efforts.

Abstracts are being solicited that provide perspective on the life-cycle analysis challenges facing the industry. We encourage you to submit a relevant abstract for the opportunity to give an oral-only presentation during the symposium.
