Abstract
In January 1997, the German Research Association (DFG) established a special research programme for an integrated analysis of metallic resource flows. The programme is a joint interdisciplinary effort of the Technical University of Aachen and of the Research Centre Jiilich. Apart from many other activities, a series of conferences is organised within this programme. In October 1997, a first conference was held on “The Economics of Resource Flows: The Case of Aluminium”. In December 1997, a second conference took place on “Life Cycle Assessment of Aluminium: Methods and Applications”. In April 1998 the third workshop was held entitled “Methodological Aspects of a Resource-oriented Analysis of Material Flows”. The next conference is planned for December 1998 on “Environmental related Aspects of Aluminium Production”. Finally, a conference on “Methods for an Integrated Evaluation of Material Flows” is under consideration for 1999.
