Support for local organizers of on-site ILCA courses

October 29, 2025 by ILCA

Would you like to organise a course on an LCA-related topic in your local area? You can now apply for economic support from the International Life Cycle Academy (ILCA) to cover costs of the planning and logistics of arranging a course.

As part of ILCA’s mission to ensure availability of LCA-related training to all interested parties, we are looking to expand the geographical reach of our courses. We therefore wish to partner with local organisers around the world who seek to provide LCA training in their local area.

ILCA will provide an up-front payment of up to 800 EUR per course day to cover costs of planning and logistics of arranging an on-site, in-person course on an LCA-related topic. In addition, after a successful course, ILCA will pay the local organiser 1/6 of the revenue obtained from the course. ILCA will handle invoicing of course fees and payment to teachers.
