LCA Teaching Scholarships 2026

At the International Life Cycle Academy, we want to help university teachers bring Life Cycle Assessment into their classrooms. Our scholarship programme removes the financial barriers that can stop educators from training in LCA.

About the scholarship programme

The LCA Teaching Scholarships let dedicated teachers attend our courses and learn Life Cycle Assessment, so they can pass it on to the next generation of sustainability professionals.

The programme exists so that location or a limited institutional budget does not keep teachers from building their LCA skills. Each recipient returns to their university ready to teach LCA to their own students, so a single scholarship reaches many learners.
