Evelyne Groen wins Academy Award at International Life Cycle Academy
Evelyne was unanimously awarded in the category 'Best contribution to LCA quality' for her two excellent papers on the topic of uncertainty.
In the first year the Academy Awards are presented, 312 recent scientific papers in the field of LCA were assessed and grouped into six categories. In the category Best contribution to LCA quality 29 papers were reviewed, and two papers on uncertainty, where Evelyne was first author, were unanimously considered the best.
Particularly impressive we found the same first author of several excellent papers on this topic and even having contributions to other papers with similar level of quality
