This workshop is by invitation only.

Advanced materials (AdMa) are among enabling technologies that could support the transition towards more sustainable innovation in a broad range of industrial sectors, but due to their emerging, complex and dynamic nature it has been challenging to assess their environmental, health and safety (EHS) and sustainability impacts, and even more so to do this in an integrated manner.

The main goal of SUNRISE is to develop an overarching Integrated Impacts Assessment Approach (IIAA), based on lifecycle thinking and designed to support SSbD decision making along supply chains of AdMa and their products. The IIAA will be a 3-tiered approach with each tier corresponding to an integrated methodology (supported by a toolbox) for health, environmental, social and economic impacts assessment targeting different groups of users at different stages of the innovation process and requiring a different level of data and expertise.

The primary objective of this workshop is to initiate a constructive dialogue with key stakeholders to ensure that the methodologies of the Integrated Impact Assessment Approach (IIAA) align with their needs, interests, and perspectives. This session, as the first in a series of co-creation workshops, will focus on:

• Defining the role of stakeholders in the development of the IIAA.

• Understanding stakeholders’ necessities, interests, and priorities related to the IIAA.

• Gathering input on how stakeholders envision the structure of the IIAA.
