14.05.2021

Dr. Marcel Weil, Principal Investigator at HIU and employed at the Institute for Technology Assessment and Systems Analysis at Karlsruhe Institute for Technology (KIT), has won the Jean-Sébastien Thomas Award for the best conference paper at the 15th Conference Society And Materials – EcoSD. Dr. Manuel Baumann (KIT) and some other colleagues of TU Berlin were awarded with him as well.

The paper “Potentials And Challenges Of A Circular Economy: A Systematic Review For The Use Case Of Lithium-Ion Batteries” will appear in the journal Matériaux & amp; Techniques. Anne-Laure Hettinger (Head of Global R & amp; D – Sustainability) from ArcelorMittal, sponsor of the conference, handed over the prize virtually due to the pandemic.

The conferences are an international forum for the exchange of new methods, new concepts and new topics that connect materials, products, the environment and society from different perspectives, from the social to the engineering sciences.
