Top-class personalities from science, humanities and...
Research paper published in Proceedings of the 3rd CIRP International Conference on Industrial Product Service Systems. Abstract Many current sustainability considerations in industry constrain design space by emphasizing reduced material and energy flows across product life cycles. However, there are also opportunities for sustainability awareness to extend design space and drive innovation. Product-service systems (PSS) in particular can be a...
Research paper published in Proceedings of the 18th CIRP International Conference on Life Cycle Engineering, Glocalized solutions for sustainability in manufacturing. Abstract Emerging from an industrial case study in the aerospace industry, the paper proposes an approach to evaluate sub-system technology concepts from a life cycle perspective. The approach is composed by 5 main phases that aims to drive product designers...
Research paper published in Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Research into Design, ICoRD’11. Abstract University research is demanded to be more need-driven and user- centred in order to address and solve problems and needs of the market. In the present study a group of athletes and coaches has been analysed on their lead user characteristics. Some of the...
